title: Practice management. Gender offenders.
abstract: A postal survey of practice managers in London found that women earned 5,000 Pounds a year less than men, on average. Women who had previously worked as receptionists in the practice were particularly poorly paid. Practice management remains a female-dominated profession. Primary care trusts should seek to standardise rates of pay and promote greater equality.
