The changes occurring in the general practice landscape present many challenges including the decision to retire or to close a practice. As small businesses, general practices face differing risks in ensuring the safety and care of patients as well as ensuring the associated legal requirements are met to close a practice.
North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network recognises these challenges and the need for a simple guide to support the process of closing a medical practice.
This resource has been developed to assist in planning for this change to ensure you and your patients are able to make this transition safely, efficiently and effectively.
