Description
This valuable resource is about making money. It is unashamedly fiscal and will answer GP's questions on how to maximise income under
the new rules established by the British Medical Association. Written by a GP with an advisory board consisting of a practice manager
and an accountant this book covers all aspects of the New Contract that have an impact on income, as well as those pre-existing areas
of income generation that already affect GPs, such as private work.
Audience
General Practitioners, Practice Managers, Practice Nurses
