Setting up in private practice

Future dates for this course will be announced.

As you are aware the UK government has indicated that everyone in the UK should avoid non-essential travel and contact and we are following this advice. After careful consideration we have decided to cancel all face to face courses until the end of 2020. When the situation changes we will update our website.

Consultants preparing to take the next step in their career as a private practitioner will find this course offers an essential grounding in key aspects of running a business.

You will hear from a number of expert speakers with extensive experience of advising consultants who are setting up in private practice.
