Strategies to keep general practices sustainable and boost income

This webinar will cover strategies used by individual GPs to keep their business sustainable or to maintain their income and ensure they can continue practising as a GP or running a practice. Discussion topics will include:

• experiences of practice setup
• examples of changes made (eg billing) – what prompted the change, how did this affect patients
• examples of what hasn’t worked (i.e. what a non-sustainable practice looks like)
• what factors were considered in devising solutions (eg community factors, practice/personnel factors).

While the focus of the session will largely be on billing, it will also address other strategies to improve sustainability including utilising practice management software, pursuing alternative funding streams, performing non-clinical work or working in other locations (eg hospitals) and maximising the roles of practice staff.

There will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions of the presenters.
