Who it is for
Doctors completing community service, leaving government or institutional practice, beginning locum or associate work, opening or buying into a practice, and established GPs who want stronger governance, workflow and professional boundaries. The South African regulatory material is clearly identified; many clinical and practice-management principles remain relevant internationally.
