This book is a practical guide and reference tool for new GPs, offering an introduction to management and leadership in general practice in the widest sense. It covers management in primary care at the national level, looking at the history of general practice and the structure of the NHS and primary health care.

Part of the RCGP Curriculum for General Practice Series, encompassing vital support for Curriculum statement 4.1, it also provides information on more specific practice-level management:

* the primary healthcare team
* the GP as an employer
* the GP running a business and handling accounts
* running a meeting
* project management
* writing a business case

In addition, Management for New GPs covers more individual issues, such as time management and how to deal with the problem individual.

This book is aimed at GP registrars or GPs who are newly qualified. It provides background reading to the nMRCGP curriculum and for those just becoming involved in management in primary care.
