What to do next

Free places for this unique offer are limited. If you or a colleague would like to apply, please contact the PMA for an application form at education@practicemanagersuk.org. You will be asked to provide a statement of commitment and a summary of what you intend to achieve, including the benefits and value this will bring to your practice/PCN.

I hope you are able to take up this exceptional offer that cannot be missed.
