Is your medical practice ready for a business health check? Struggling to grow your medical practice in a post-pandemic world? Wondering why your business still isn’t thriving and successful? This book has you covered.
The landscape in which Australian medical practices operate has changed forever, and in ways that no one could have envisioned.
This is the perfect handbook for medical professionals who find running their practice stressful and time-consuming. Offering practical and effective solutions, get ready to go back to focussing on patient care.
Many medical professionals feel like they've been studying their whole life. While medical school and specialist training prepare you to deliver quality health and medical care, it doesn’t show you how to be a successful business owner.

Why medical training doesn’t prepare most doctors to run a successful business
Business owner vs doctor mindset and how it affects everything you do
Knowing what a healthy business looks like
Telehealth and doctors working from home
Practice structures and understanding trusts
Understanding contracts
Pathology rent and the Red Book
Building a cohesive, high-functioning team to support you
Marketing your practice and overcoming the risks of producing online content
Community mindfulness
