There's a lot of tedious stuff you have to have in place if you're running a busy clinic. And there's even more if you have associates or employed staff.
This page is part of our determination to do the boring stuff for you - leaving you free to get on with helping patients, confident that you've done what you can to meet your legal obligations.
**If you need a resource that you can't see here, just let us know. We'll do our best to provide it.**
Almost everything we provide is free to our members:
- Employment and Associate Contracts
- Clinic and Employee Handbooks
- EDI policy
- First Aid Risk Assessment
- and more coming soon!

Contract Templates
We have made every effort to ensure that the contract templates we provide are legally sound, but we are not solicitors (for which we are very grateful!). We have to point out, therefore, that you use these templates at your own risk and we strongly advise that you run them past a qualified person before you finalise them.
We recommend Caroline Robertson at ActifHR, who helped prepare our templates in the first place. She will charge only a minimal fee to ensure they're up to scratch (and unless you change the wording drastically you only need to have one contract checked - you can then use it for all your Associates).
