Practice Managers Support
We recognise that the Practice Managers are usually the heart of General Practice, but the role is often described as isolating and expectations and workload are forever increasing. The LMC is here to support Practice Managers as much as we can, and have recently done a PM survey to look at the workload, morale and general feeling amongst the profession.
As a new Practice Manager, it can be really hard to navigate the different areas to ensure you claim everything you should and when,connecting with the right people as well as ensuring the practice are complying with CQC and delivering the contract.
We have included a few areas which we hope provides support and guidance to support Practice Managers .
