Listen to our latest podcast on ”How Covid has changed General Practices”, in partnership with Ockham Healthcare for free now!
There is a lot of talk about how general practice has changed as a result of the pandemic, but what does that mean for GP practices on the ground? Are practices really going to change, or is it just a matter of time until things go back to how they were?
In this week’s Ockham Health’s podcast, our Head of Primary Care Tracy Green and Alvanley Family Practice’s Business Manager, Kay Keane are here to share their views on what changes they think are here to stay.
