Winter planning resilience guide to help practices

Our Winter Planning resilience guide will help GPs and their practices create and maintain a business continuity plan.

The guide can be downloaded from our GP Resilience website that contains a host of template letters for you to use, as well as patient facing posters and resilience guides.

In particular at this time of year you may find the template letters on requests for work absence sick notes for less than seven days and requests for verification for school children sickness absence particularly useful.
