Recognised by ILM and City & Guilds as an approved centre of education within the primary care sector, the PMA understands training needs in general practice and has supported the development of NHS staff for many years.
We have successfully engaged thousands of your colleagues to bridge gaps in skills and knowledge through the creation and delivery of a comprehensive selection of workshops.
Our workshops are organised at local level – providing a convenient way to deliver consistent training to practices across a region while providing the chance for staff to network and share best practice.
Workshops are one to three days in duration, carrying 6 CPD points per day. We also deliver 2-hour masterclasses providing concise updates for staff in a convenient window of time.
PMA will award those attending any six PMA workshops with the ‘PMA Excellence in Practice Management Certificate’.
If you are interested in organising workshops or masterclasses for your local practices, please get in touch.
As an ILM and City & Guilds accredited centre, the PMA seeks to facilitate and promote best practice, offering education and support to those involved in primary care.
