Relevant to my current practice and work.

Coming back to SA after working abroad for 18 years, this information is useful and relevant in how i run my practice. I actually feel that all health professionals returning to service or starting in private practice should have access to this information. It will certainly be less stressful for them, i only wish i had this information months ago.
