Power to the PM

Here's me introducing myself
I wanted to write to introduce myself as the (fairly) new editor of Practice Business - I started in June, though August was my first issue. I had previously been editor of a few business titles published by the same company and what with all the moving around, I have neglected my blog page.
I haven't been the only one to be busy. What a time to start! We are well and truly in the era of the GP manager. With the onset of GP consortia, practice managers will be more important than ever as commissioning clinicians look to experienced multitaskers to help them on their way.
As GP groups form, it's the best time to stay skilled up and in the know, and to be seen as an all around expert in commissioning.
It's with this in mind that I take the reigns at Practice Business, conscious (and not letting myself get daunted) by the fact that managers need a publication like ours more than ever. So here we are, your guiding light, or so we hope.
I am always on the look out for news and practices to feature in the magazine, so please get in touch with anything you want to share on editor@practicebusiness.co.uk.
Bye for now,
Julia
