Says it all really.

Probably is for him but you need membership which would exclude the majority
of GPs.

Team building days? I'll go for that W/E away in Paris/Prague wherever!
Stuff the satisfaction survey so with GPs getting thinner on the ground and
patients being not a short numbers item they've got a choice?
We do have a MAAG here and they pursue a quiet policy of doing the audit for
you. All in favour of that especially as the lead lady is a real stunner.
