Management in Practice Birmingham 2017

The final Management in Practice conference of 2017 took place in Birmingham on 5th December at the National Conference Centre. The conference saw Practice Managers, GP Partners and Administrative teams attend informative and engaging sessions throughout the day.

With three streams of content on offer, the programme covered a wide range of though provoking topics & content in a variety of session formats, all delivered by expert speakers from across the healthcare landscape. The aim of these events is to provide Practice Managers and Partners with a day dedicated to giving them tangible advice that they can apply practically in practice.

Highlights included:

  • A brilliant keynote address from Mandy Hickson, motivational speaker and former Royal Air Force fast jet pilot, on how best to inspire teams, how to achieve effective leadership and performance coaching.
  • Sessions covering upcoming changes in the law including IR35 and GDPR
  • An excellent opening session on the General Practice Forward View from Dr Robert Varnam, Head of General Practice Development, NHS England
