We live and practice in complex and changing times. Practice management and clinical excellence are the key to quality and safety in health care. How to integrate compliance, treatment effectiveness, a positive workplace culture, leadership in a sustainable business model is the question that is on the mind of psychologists. This is particularly the case for solo practitioners or small-medium group practices. This workshop will help your build the essential policies and procedures for your practice.
