New to Partnership Training Bursary

The new to partnership scheme has an attached £3,000 bursary attached to it for new partners. It's meant to teach new partners the non-clinical skills that should serve them well in their new role.

However one such email invited me to get a free 'financial health check' - this seemed too good to pass up! I thought I'd go through what happened during this health check, and to remind you that no company gives you something of value that is truly free.
