Leading in Health From Practitioner to Director – Corporate governance for medical and allied health practices
A practical governance handbook for the doctors, dentists and allied health practitioners who now run the business as well as the clinic.
Includes GST and complimentary postage within Australia.
Doctors are trained to treat patients, not to run organisations.
Somewhere between the first hire and the second site, most practitioners become directors. The duties change, the exposure changes, and nobody hands over a manual.
Leading in Health is that manual. It takes the governance obligations that sit behind every medical and allied health business and sets them out in language you can act on between patients, without a law degree and without the jargon.
Sarah Bartholomeusz has spent more than twenty years advising healthcare businesses, and facilitates the Legal Environment and Risk & Strategy days for the Australian Institute of Company Directors' Company Directors Course.

- Running a board or advisory group that earns its time
- Managing conflicts in a practice you also work in
- Risk, compliance and the registers regulators expect to see
- Bringing partners in, and letting them out again
- Succession, sale, and what buyers examine first
