Business Management course for GPs
This session examines how plans for services are made within an organisation. It introduces the business case as a valuable tool which contributes to the business planning process, and examines how decisions are made locally about which plans to support. This session supports leadership development in clinical settings.
Learning Objectives

- Identify the structure and format of business plans
- Identify contingencies where plans are not successful or only partially supported
