Join our extremely popular masterclass on how to get going with group clinics. Many clinicians are convinced by the potential of group clinics. Turning conviction into action can be challenging. At our masterclass, explore the common barriers to getting started with group clinics and the ways to overcome them including:

-- Finding funding especially for staff training
-- Making Group Clinics a team priority and overcoming lack time and focus.
