When you are thinking of entering into general practice partnership, there is a very definite dearth of information and insider knowledge available to potential new partners. There are a number of really crucial factors to consider and some specific information you may require access to, in order to really understand what the expectations are of you and most importantly, whether the partnership is worthy of your investment and how likely you are to succeed in it. Fortunately, Robert McCartney, solicitor, and general practice business consultant, returns to the Ockham sofa this week to cut through the confusion and to give us some clear advice on navigating and negotiating what can be an incredibly tricky path. From property, people and finances to the business, the vision and the culture, this week’s episode gives a much-needed overview and insight into practice partnership for beginners.
