Practice Management

jow774

Hi,

Ive recently registered onto MIP scheme and was wondering what Practice Management cpd i could use. Ive been practicing under exemption for a few clients for the past couple of years and also work in a small practice part time. Does it just include software choices, filing system, bank account etc etc? Does ATT practice admin count? Apolos if this has already been answered somewhere else.
