Management in Practice Manchester
Management in Practice Manchester returns this June with a refreshed programme designed to support practice managers, PCN leaders and GP partners as they prepare for the significant changes ahead in 2026.
As key elements of the 10-year health plan begin to take shape - including the introduction of neighbourhood health services and new expectations around collaborative working - practice managers will be pivotal in turning policy into effective delivery at local level.
This essential event brings together expert insight, financial clarity and practical, real-world guidance to help you lead your organisation through a rapidly evolving primary care landscape with confidence.
