Business Coaching for Private Doctors, GPs, and Surgeons
As a doctor working in private practice, you face the challenge of balancing your clinical expertise with the demands of running a business. Whether you’re growing your own private clinic, managing the pressures of combining NHS and private work, or looking to expand into new services, the business side can feel overwhelming without the right support.
That’s where I come in. I’m Mike Sherwood – an Aesthetic Business & Marketing Coach who works with doctors, GPs, and surgeons to help them run profitable, well-structured practices. Over six months, I’ll guide you through building a stronger patient acquisition strategy, refining your pricing, streamlining daily operations, and positioning your practice with confidence in a competitive market. My aim is to help you grow a sustainable business that delivers professional success while still giving you the balance you want in your personal life.
Challenges Faced by Private Doctors, GPs, and Surgeons
Running a private healthcare practice or balancing work across different sectors comes with its own set of challenges, including:
Patient Acquisition and Retention
Building a steady stream of private patients while maintaining loyalty in a competitive market can be demanding.
Work-life Balance
Many doctors and surgeons find themselves balancing their private practice with NHS work and home life, often leading to burnout.
Managing a Team and Operations
As your practice grows, managing staff, scheduling, and the day-to-day operations can become overwhelming.
Financial Management
Ensuring the financial health of your practice, from managing overheads to increasing profitability, can be difficult without a clear strategy.
These challenges are unique to healthcare professionals and require specific strategies to overcome.
