Running a GP practice can be very different from most other types of business in the sense that you are always, always busy. Someone who runs a restaurant, for example, might be sitting there on a wet and windy night as Storm Franklin blasts away outside, and perhaps only have a couple of customers in all evening. With a GP practice, you are never sitting there twiddling your thumbs. If anything, there are too many things to do.

Running A GP Practice Isn’t The Same As Owning An Antique Shop
When you run a GP practice it is not the same as running, say, an antique shop. If you own an antique shop and are unfortunate enough to go sick for a month, the worst that can happen is that you have no income for that month. But you can just put a notice on the door telling customers that you are off sick and will be back at whatever time you think. Even if you have a customer who sees something in the window that he or she wants, they will come back for it when you re-open.

This will cover you if any of your employees should be injured during the course of undertaking any activity that they are required to do as an employee.
