PRIMARY CARE NETWORKS

Lentells has been assisting numerous primary care networks with their accounting requirements since their inception in 2019.

This involves preparing clearly laid out annual accounts showing the share of any surplus per individual practice.

In addition, assistance and training can be provided for PCNs who use accounting software or this function can be outsourced to the Lentells' bookkeeping department.

Lentells also regularly advise their PCN clients on VAT, tax, business structure and other financial matters.

We also work with a number of locum GPs. We provide help and advice on the tax implications of setting up as a locum and the advantages and disadvantages of setting up as a limited company. We provide specialist advice and support on areas including:
