We are facing multiple challenges and there is an apparent disconnect between managing your healthcare practice and delivering contracted medical services.  Whilst the ownership of the practice can be separate from the service provision, it is usually the doctors who own and provide medical services. This 3-hour workshop covers various property issues which have a direct impact on the practice.

This workshop is designed to help practice managers, GPs and GP Partners develop a full understanding of property management including lease management and notional rent.

Benefits of this course:

  • See how effective property management achieves greater value from your premises
  • Understand the need for property management in your multi-disciplinary expansion plans
  • Learn best practice when putting a lease in place and how to mitigate risk
  • Discover why, how, and when to check your notional rent, and how and why abatements are applied
  • Helpful web links and guidance notes will be provided throughout
  • Interact with the speaker to resolve questions throughout the day
  • Benefit from a post-workshop summary and support.

At the PMA we pride ourselves on the understanding that one size doesn’t fit all and – therefore, we have various formats of our workshops and can adapt any programme / agenda to suit your local needs and necessaries – so, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
