    Ep 323: This GP DOUBLED his list size

    https://www.growyourlistsize.co.uk/ On the Medics’ Money Podcast, GP partner Dr Nabeel Arshad of Brooks Surgery in Manchester discusses how his practice doubled its patient list from 10,000 to 20,000 over five years, contributing to over £1.9m in recurring revenue and enabling reinvestment in more doctors, trainees, specialist staff, and technology while increasing partner take-home and maintaining access and high patient satisfaction. He explains why profit matters for partnership sustainability and why income streams tied to clinician time (insurance reports, teaching, joint injections) don’t scale and can be withdrawn, whereas list size is more stable and supports further income via QOF, ARRS/PCN budgets. He outlines his GrowYourListSize.co.uk service, including eligibility screening, controlled growth, geographic exclusivity, a six-month money-back guarantee, and a free practice growth report. 00:00 Meet Dr Nabeel Arshad 01:51 Why Working Harder Fails 05:00 Scaling With Systems 07:35 The Numbers Behind Growth 10:42 Google Reviews Matter 14:24 Recurring Revenue Security 17:26 PCN And QOF Upside 18:44 Succession And Recruitment 21:38 Service Guarantee And Exclusivity 24:23 Controlled Growth And Setup 27:00 Free Growth Report CTA 29:01 Quickfire Future Of GP 31:06 Wrap Up And Where To Find

    Ep 322: "A bank study found their best investors all had one thing in common..."

    Join the course with a discount: https://medics-money-partnership.circle.so/checkout/financial-wellbeing-course-7?coupon_code=FWBEARLY The podcast features Dr. Nadia Ekong discussing what she learned on the Financial Wellbeing course and how she applies it to her family, covering budgeting, saving, investing, and teaching children about money. She contrasts growing up with unspoken expectations that academic success would guarantee financial security with the modern reality of taxes, spending, and the need to manage income intentionally. Key takeaways include planning finances prospectively using the Medics Money financial dashboard, adopting mindset shifts such as understanding the true value of “£1” after tax and the real cost of purchases, and using evidence-based, passive investing. She describes practical steps for kids: piggy banks, GoHenry and Starling Kite accounts, goal-based “pots,” and reading Grandpa’s Fortune Fable to introduce long-term investing. They also discuss pocket money approaches and recommend E is for Ethics for teaching morals through stories and guided questions. 00:00 Episode Overview 01:21 Meet Dr Nadia Ekong 01:56 Early Money Lessons 03:01 Doctor Pay Reality Check 04:49 Course Takeaways 07:54 Teaching Kids Money 09:25 Investing With Stories 11:47 Pocket Money Debate 15:19 Ethics For Kids Book 18:04 Top Tips And Wrap Want the latest financial tips for doctors and exclusive invites?

    Ep 321: 900 GPs miss out on £4million - are you?

    https://ashlane.co.uk/medics-money-4-3-million-underpayment-for-flu-vaccines/ The Medics' Money podcast interviews Harriet Hole from Ash Lane Consulting about GP practices losing income due to complex NHS drug reimbursement processes for personally administered items (e.g., vaccines, injections, devices). Hole explains how practices buy and administer items, print FP10s, send FP34 and vaccine appendices, and get paid by PCSE later, noting errors can occur at many points. Ash Lane identified that for the 2025/26 flu season around 900 practices were underpaid, averaging £4,800 each (over £4 million total), often due to being reimbursed for the wrong flu vaccine; they offer a free 30-second check via a link in the show notes. The episode discusses whether flu remains profitable (margins have fallen) and gives tips to reduce wastage, ensure correct claiming (copy wording from vaccine boxes), reconcile claims to payments, send claims special delivery, avoid under-claiming, and monitor supplier pricing and profit margins. 00:00 GPs Missing Millions 02:00 Meet Ash Lane Consulting 03:21 How Drug Reimbursement Works 05:54 Flu Season Underpayments 07:37 Free Flu Payment Check 09:22 Is Flu Still Profitable 11:54 Flu Campaign Best Practices 17:36 Beyond Flu Drug Profits 24:26 Supplier Pricing Tips 26:16 Benchmarks and Final Call 28:40 Wrap Up and Goodbye Want the latest financial tips for doctors and exclusive invites?

    Ep 320: BMA Special - Resident doctors strike AGAIN (plus 1,000 doctors lost?)

    On this week's Medics' Money podcast, host Cyra (a chartered accountant and doctor) interviews BMA UK Resident Doctor's Committee leaders Shiv (deputy chair, psychiatry ST3) and Arjun (education and training co–deputy chair, BMA director) about ongoing resident doctor strikes. They say negotiations after December strikes were initially constructive but collapsed when the government shifted a proposed pay investment from two years to three, reduced it, and labeled it a “best and final offer,” then refused to negotiate while strikes were called. They criticise the Prime Minister’s removal of 1,000 training posts, warning it worsens workforce shortages, creates bottlenecks, and harms patients. They discuss job insecurity, doctor substitution, training capacity concerns, and NHS mismanagement and waste, arguing a credible pay offer and clear plans for training posts and progression are needed to end strikes. 00:00 Training Posts Cut Fallout 01:04 Podcast Intro and Guests 02:16 Why Resident Doctors Strike 05:17 Talks Breakdown and Pay 08:23 Jobs Bottlenecks and Trust 12:59 NHS Decline and Waste 16:22 Doctor Substitution Risks 23:25 Ending Strikes and Deal Terms 26:37 Strike Timing and Consultants 30:41 Costs and Devaluation Claims 32:40 Tiered Care and Culture 34:25 Personal Stories and Closing Want the latest financial tips for doctors and exclusive invites?

    Ep 318: Divorce.

    Get in touch with Talbots Law: https://medicsmoney.co.uk/medical-solicitor/ This week's episode discusses divorce from a legal perspective with Karen and Rita from Talbots Law, outlining what to expect, why legal advice can help, and what people can do themselves under no-fault divorce. They explain timing (about six months for the divorce, often 9–12+ months for contested finances/children), ways to avoid court (negotiation, mediation, collaborative law), and court safeguards where there is domestic abuse. They cover how courts approach children and finances (needs and Section 25 factors), note child maintenance is usually handled by the Child Maintenance Service, and emphasize NHS pensions as major assets often needing a jointly instructed neutral actuary report, with pension sharing or offsetting options. They also mention disclosure of private practice income, updating wills, risks if someone dies before finalisation, avoiding new asset purchases before a clean break, and the value of communication.
