The episode discusses the implications of the latest budget changes for general practice and personal finances.
In this week’s episode, brought to you in partnership with Practice Index, we’re joined by Claire Houston from Practice Index, Paul Gordon from Atomos, and James Gransby from Azets to break down what the latest budget really means for general practice. We explore how tools like the salary calculator and benchmarking manager can support smarter decision making as practices respond to rising costs.
