Starting an optometric practice is an essential guide to anyone thinking of starting their own practice. Packed full of practical advice on how to buy a practice, what issues to consider, how to access finance, what regulations you should be aware of, how to register with the NHS - to mention just a few topics - it is an invaluable guide.
