Do you have/use a practice manual? I have bits & pieces of info. on computer about the basic functions within my practice but realise the need to have it much more organised & combined into a proper manual. Does anyone have any suggestions or places to look to get advice on what to include or how to format something like this properly.
In Australia most public podiatry practices have policy and procedure manuals that include all things necessary to run a service (refferal process, appointment booking, discharge policy, info on infection control, etc.)

Yes, I have one, which lives in the clinic at arm's reach at all times. It also lives alongside the A.Pod .A manual, to which one is referred for general stuff. My protocol has all the info that is relevant to my clinic (eg fee schedules, clinic hours, etc) . The only problem is getting staff to read it, so you don't get those constant questions!
