The Tax Health Plan - Fair Play or Fair Game? FREE webinar for GPs and practice managers

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has introduced a Tax Health Plan (THP) for health professionals. The THP is the first initiative in a new HMRC campaign focused on professionals. The THP offers medical professionals with undisclosed tax liabilities an opportunity to come forward and settle their affairs in return for a lower, fixed penalty. Formal investigation potentially faces those who decide not to notify HMRC, by 31 March 2010, of their intention to make a disclosure. To help you understand the THP more fully and to explain the steps required in making a disclosure, Vantis, one of the UK’s leading accounting, tax, business recovery and advisory groups, will be hosting a short on-line webinar on Tuesday 23 March 2010 at 1.00pm.

NHS Newham Conference, World Class Commissioning in an Age of Migration

The people of migrant communities in England face widespread difficulties when seeking access to health services. Newham’s population includes some of the poorest, most ethnically diverse and mobile groups in the UK. As part of the NHS Pacesetter programme to promote equality, we have been working with local migrant communities to identify and overcome barriers to health services. This conference, sponsored by NHS Newham, will: examine the barriers to health services experienced by migrant communities; consider the commissioning skills needed to support diverse and mobile populations; assess the costs, benefits and risks of restricting migrant people’s access to NHS services. The following have been invited to speak at the conference: Joan Sadler OBE (DoH); David Stout (NHS Confederation), Shami Chakrabhatti (Liberty), Professor Richard Wilkinson (Equality Trust), Edwin Borman (BMA Council). Workshops and seminars will be led by Medécins du Monde (UK), Migrants’ Rights Network, British Medical Association, TUC, and Londonwide LMCs. A new production by the award-winning playwright Peter Cox will also be presented.
