title: Practice management - tips from the toolkit: 3 governance.
abstract: More than most small businesses, medical practices require good governance. One of the qualities most expected of a family doctor is trust. This encompasses not just doing the right thing by patients but also our colleagues, employees, business partners and the community. In this article, we reflect on some of the aspects of governance as it applies in general practice. This series is based on The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners' 'General practice management toolkit'.
