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 can have great benefits in terms of staff engagement, motivation, development and the sustainability and resilience of the organisation.

In this episode Chris Locke returns to discuss succession planning and talent management, and how they can work for you. 

Chris Locke has been working with organisations, both public and private sector for over 30 years supporting the assessment and development of managers, aspiring leaders and C-suite executives. His role and his passion is helping people realise their potential through a range of tools including coaching, psychometrics, training and facilitation.
