The KSS Deanery recognises the important role that the Practice Manager has in the training practice in supporting GP Trainers, Clinical Supervisors and trainees in their Foundation and GP Specialty Training placements as well as the new Paramedic Practitioner Student placements. This web page has been created to support Practice Managers and is where you will find the Practice Managers Handbook and other helpful resources.
The Deanery also supports Training Practice Managers by inviting them to attend Deanery organised meetings. These normally occur twice a year, with one at the local county level and the GP Patch Manager for your area will be able to give you details about these.
Practice Managers are also invited to GP Department Annual General Meeting on 11th February 2010. All GP Education networks, Practice Managers together with GP trainees are welcome to attend. The AGM will be held in the Gatwick Hilton Hotel.
