The Practice Manager Role<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Practice Managers work in Primary Care, where they manage the overall running of general practices (GP Surgeries). As a Practice Manager, you’ll work where people often have their first and most frequent point of contact with the NHS. Practice Managers will work with a variety of staff who work from or are nased within the practice. These staff will typically include GPs, Practice Nurses, Medical Secretaries, Receptionist, Physiotherapists, Pharmacists and others.\u00a0Please see this link to the GM Primary Care Careers Platform –\u00a0https:\/\/gmprimarycarecareers.org.uk\/generalpractice\/careers\/practice-manager\/<\/a><\/p>\n
