General practice has changed significantly from the traditional small business model where all revenue
flowed directly from the GP/Patient consultation. Most of these changes have added layers of complexity
to those responsible for financial management including capitation and the transfer of financial risk,
increased group practice compliance and quality standards, less direct GP/Patient consultation revenue,
PHO projects, workforce shortages, different GP needs and many more. Business models have also
changed with DHB, Community Trust, PHO and corporate ownership now being more commonplace
alongside the traditional GP owner/operator. And we continue to see more amalgamations with the
development of purpose built medical centres providing a broader range of primary care services. To be
financially viable and successful general practice now needs good financial management and business
planning skills.
This session will cover three key areas of good financial management:
1. Maximising income – including managing the practice register, consumables, debtors, fee policy and
other revenue opportunities;
2. Managing expenses – including non-owner GP/staff costs and financial risks;
3. Business planning and budgeting – to help determine the future direction and performance of the
