Contracts in primary care – How? Why? Which? Traps

With Justin Cumberlege and Robert McCartney from Hempsons Solicitors.

Relationships drive primary care. Traditionally practices have relied on informal agreements but the increasing complexity of how services are developing, especially with PCNs, has made formal contracting essential.

This session will consider the importance of written contracts and the NHS templates. It will consider schedule 7 of the Network Agreement and expanding your network. It will also identify common traps, how to avoid them and how to access NHS pensions.

This webinar is hosted by the Best Practice Show and sponsored by Hempsons.
