Practice finance can be a minefield! Matt Perkins leads this session from a place of experience and was once in your shoes – totally new to unpicking the world of practice finance. Matt is now a Business Manager of a large practice but still remembers the early days and is able to explain and untangle the money-in and the money-out in an uncomplicated, straightforward way without using accountancy jargon.
Following this session you will have a basic understanding of how finances work in Primary Care, and where the pitfalls are.
