GPs Guide to Professional and Private Work Outside the NHS

All GPs undertake the non-NHS work some of which can add substantially to practice income. This book describes a wide range of fee-paying work which GPs are uniquely qualified to undertake; it shows how opportunities for this work arise and how to become involved in it. For many the financial benefits are greatly enhanced by the professional satisfaction such work brings.
