What you will learn
Doctors working within independent healthcare are continually having to adapt their practices to an ever-changing landscape. This conference will look at the “ins and outs” of private practice from the logistics of setting up a private practice for the first time to making sure established practitioners are reaching their maximum potential. For new entrants to the private sector, attending the conference in person will offer a chance to network with colleagues who have already established and run successful practices.
The conference will also include presentations on ‘Investigations’ and cover the top three mistakes doctors engaged in private practice make and how Medical Defence Organisations can help its members.
