Re: General Practice expenses
If there are few or no customers in the early days, I just wonder what the receptionist is actually going to be doing? Is this a luxury that a startup organisation can afford? A virtual service would ensure that the phones get answered and appointments can be made, but without incurring a huge fixed cost.Do you not think a receptionist/clerk is essential to do the considerable amount of administrative work associated with a one-person business - which is what a G.P. practice is? This newly-qualified (presumably relatively-young) doctor will have her work cut out to concentrate on the treatments without also having to manage a business.
