In the last four years, the costs of running the medical practice has increased dramatically. Such increases include things such as the cost of hiring a locum to cover leave, IT costs, unpaid debts, medical indemnity and costs associated with the new European Data Protection Regulations.

I have absorbed these costs to the best of my ability, but I am now in the position of having to increase some of the practice fees. These new fees will apply from 1st April 2019.
