money talks

GPs derive a large amount of their income via the "QOF"- Quality and Outcomes Framework" which is a complex series of targets in the area of health monitoring for a whole range of conditions: the healthy, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and so on. It's hard work simply keeping up with all the changes constantly being announced by the health authorities. Today the 3 partners got together for a 90 minute run through of how best to implement the latest round of data gathering. I hate this sort of thing, but there's no option. Failure to do the job properly can cost us thousands. So we sit it out, trying to remember it all, hoping it won't be to onerous in the event.

Tomorrow, a big party: a masked ball in black and white, no less. I've already bought my mask, so I'm pretty smug, especially as I've also got the necessary B and W stuff. But the wife for once is less well organised. Knowing her though, she'll be there in style when it comes to it. I'll keep you informed...
