Although all primary care organisations have to develop business plans at every level, for many this is a new experience. This book will show the reader how. , The Business Planning Tool Kit is a practical, comprehensive book that contains all the reader needs to know about business planning in primary care. The book includes topics on what to include in a business plan, personnel, finances, premises and information management. It is an interactive guide including links to websites that have practical templates for the reader to download and use. It takes general practitioners, practice managers, and managers in primary care groups, trusts, and health authorities through the business planning process in a clear, straightforward way. , This book provides a whole new way of looking at how general practice can be managed and it does so in the form of a manual which gives whoever takes on the task the tools to do so. The layout of the book is a joy. Every section has sheets on which staff members can write their comments on the issue in hand. Users of this book are likely to find themselves in a healthier practice because of it. ’ Andrew Polmear, in the Foreword
