Management in Practice Bristol

Management in Practice Bristol is back - returning after several years with a refreshed programme designed to equip practice managers, PCN leaders, and GP partners for the sweeping changes arriving in 2026. 

With major elements of the 10-year health plan coming into effect, including the rollout of neighbourhood health services and evolving expectations for joint working, practice managers will play a central role in shaping how these changes are delivered on the ground. 

This unmissable event offers the expert insight, financial clarity, and practical guidance you need to navigate a rapidly evolving primary care landscape with confidence.
