Introduction
Practitioners and clinics will use a vast array of internal policies and procedures, but the most appropriate policies will always depend on the size and nature of the individual organisation. The policies are more effective if they are developed and reviewed on an ongoing basis with the involvement of staff, and are tailored to suit the specific needs ofa clinic and its activities. However, some guidance and examples mean that you don’t have to start from scratch.
Hannah Clinic has developed a number of example generic policies which can be used as a basis for your own policies, where relevant these policies should be tailored to suit the needs and requirements of each individual practitioner and clinic.
