Income Generation in General Practice

General practice is a business but not many doctors are businessmen, by nature or by training. Although the NHS reforms provide new opportunities for increasing practice income and patient care, few GPs have the time or inclination to unravel the complexity of the Red Book. As a result, the vast majority of doctors are not earning the full reward for their labours. This book is a clear and comprehensive guide to the regulations which cause most confusion. It deals with fees and allowances, training, staff and premises, and the financial implications of all practice activity. It is designed primarily as a concise reference for GPs and practice managers, and will be particularly useful for trainees.
