Leadership in Practice
What's expected of a Practice Manager
This episode is as much for GP Partners as it is for Practice Managers. It will help you if you’re setting the expectations or expectations have been made of you.
What’s expected of a Practice Manager can vary greatly, and they’re often unrealistic and damaging. When that happens it’s usually to the detriment of the practice and Practice Manager, but get it right and it can deliver a successful practice and Practice Manager.
In this episode Peter Maynard joins me to discuss ‘What’s expected of a Practice Manager’, and we consider;
- Typical expectations
- Unrealistic expectations
- What to do if expectations aren’t being met
- Why it’s important to set the right expectations
We also each give our usual podcast takeaway to help you if you’re a PM struggling to meet the expectations you’ve been given.
Peter Maynard is the Executive Partner at Horfield Health Centre, an 18,000 list size practice in Bristol. He is also the Institute of General Practice Management Regional Representative for Bristol, North Somerset and Gloucestershire. He began his primary care career in 2017 and prior to this had a long and successful career as a solicitor.
