Leadership in Practice
Managing a business in primary care
General practice, PCNs and federations are businesses in every sense of the word but it’s not always easy to get everyone involved to acknowledge this.
Its sometimes even harder for all concerned to adopt that approach to the management and ownership of these organisations.
I wanted to explore what it means to ‘manage a business in primary care’ and invited George Gavriel, a GP with all the right skills and experience to help me. He shares his thoughts on:
- Why it’s important to manage your practice or PCN as a business.
- What ‘manage as a business’ looks like.
- Some important do’s and don’ts
- And how a business management qualification like an MBA helps you manage your primary care business.
We end by each giving you one business management approach to takeaway and use in your practice or PCN.
George Gavriel is an experienced GP, leader and educator with an impressive portfolio of roles and responsibilities in primary care businesses.
He is:
- GP Partner at The Swan Practice, Buckinghamshire
- Clinical Director of The Swan Network PCN
- Director of Buckinghamshire GP Provider Alliance
- BOB ICB Board member for Primary Medical Services
- He has an MBA and a PGCMDE
