Effective business planning is the key to delivering on the purpose and goals of your practice. Many practices, however, find the process of business planning cumbersome, time intensive and gets lost in the busy-ness of everyday activities. We will show you how you can simply but effectively meet not only the RACGP Standards for General Practice and QI-PIP requirements, but also develop easy to use plans to keep your whole team on track. Whether you are looking to implement simple action plans, get started with goal setting, or ready to fly with strategic planning, this course will get you on the path to enduring planning habits.

Highly suitable for practices starting their business planning journey, as well as extending knowledge for more experienced managers who already have had some planning experience.
