Anyone who becomes a “manager of a practice” is obliged to attend the New Partner Practice Management course (PMC) within 12 months of assuming that role.
The course is formed of two components: online modules and a live training day. Upon booking you will receive access to online modules to watch. These modules are compulsory for all attendees. You can complete them in your own time, providing it is within one year of your appointment as a practice manager.
Thursday 18 March 2021 PMC training day will be hosted online. The programme can be seen below. The topics will be a mix of essential regulatory obligations (including finance, complaints, ethics) and other essential partner requirements (business development, operations, wellbeing and management).
All the speakers involved are open to questions and feedback throughout the day.
Please note, all PMC attendees will gain 10 hours verified CPD. Upon completion of the course, all participants will be entitled to use our online learning management system to gain an additional five hours of verified CPD, thus completing your annual requirements of 15 hours verifiable CPD. Please contact us on cpd@lawscot.org.uk to arrange this.
