    How coaching can help you and your team

    Is your own personal growth really important to you, and have you got a passion for developing your team?

Kristi Adams joins us to explain coaching and its many benefits, and shares a simple tool to help you when you’re coaching your own team. Kristi'...

    Bringing your values to life

    Agreeing our values is important, for a practice as much as it is for us as individuals. Living our values is essential for primary care and is so connected to what we do in general practice and primary care networks. They are often identified and declared but rarely do we see evidence beyond this. That might be because it’s difficult to do, or it’s poorly understood, or it’s not known what to do once our values are identified. On the face of it, it’s a straightforward thing to do, but there’...

    The Power of a Purpose in Primary Care

    In this episode we dive into the crucial topic of ‘purpose’. It’s an area that is not always fully understood, or embraced, and we explore what we mean by purpose, what it means for a practice or PCN, and what makes it more than just words on a wall. The conversation looks at how central principles are powerful and helpful in guiding and uniting us in today’s challenging primary care environment. We consider: What do we mean by a purpose and how is it different to a mission or a v...

    Succession planning in primary care

    I suspect succession planning and talent management are unfamiliar activities for many in general practice and primary care. Maybe they’re not on your radar, or you’re not sure what they mean or whether they’re relevant to a practice or primary care network. But I’ve found they can often be happening to some degree but without much structure or in a way that maximises what can be achieved. The reality is that its absolutely something worth doing, whatever the size of your practice or PCN, and...

    Maximising the PCN Practice relationship

    Primary Care Networks are now an important and established part of the primary care landscape but as Tara Humphrey points out in this episode, with multiple organisations coming together it takes a lot of time, thought, reflection and planning to try and build the relationships. We can be certain that Primary Care Networks, in one form or another, are here to stay, so I wanted explore the complex relationships between primary care networks and practices. There is possibly no one better to ha...

    Avoiding the legal pitfalls in primary care

    If you think you should only speak to your lawyer when something has gone wrong, you might want to think again. This episode with Edwina Farrell was a real eye opener. It left me in no doubt that your lawyer is there to prevent things going wrong, and to make it less costly if the worst does happen. Keep listening if you’re a Partner in practice, or a Practice Manager taking the lead on governance and legal matters, and you'll hear Edwina share a wealth of knowledge on: Partnershi...
