Managing the Practice Managing the Practice provides open learning for primary health care managers, dental practice managers and community nurse managers.  It is particularly useful for those who manage GP practices, as they will be able to use their responses as evidence to meet the majority of the managerial competencies outlined in the national competency framework for practice managers.  The workbooks encourage creative, independent and flexible learning.  Learners can study at their own pace at a time which is convenient to them and their workplace. This three-part, open learning programme helps to provide the underpinning evidence for the S/NVQ Level 4 in management, and equivalent qualifications.
