Business Coaching for Private Doctors, GPs, and Surgeons
As a private doctor, GP, or surgeon, balancing your medical expertise with the demands of running a successful practice can be challenging. Whether you’re managing your own private clinic, juggling NHS commitments, or looking to expand your medical practice, business coaching can provide the strategic guidance you need to thrive.
At Mike Sherwood – Medical & Aesthetics Business Coach, I specialise in helping medical professionals like you streamline operations, improve profitability, and achieve long-term growth. My coaching is tailored to address the unique challenges faced by doctors, GPs, and surgeons, helping you build a practice that balances professional success with personal fulfilment.
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.

- Work-life balance strategies: Together, we’ll develop approaches to better manage your time and reduce burnout, helping you balance your professional responsibilities with your personal life.
- Operational improvements: We’ll work on streamlining your practice’s day-to-day operations, from managing patient flow to improving staff efficiency, allowing you to focus on delivering excellent care.
- Financial planning and growth: I’ll guide you through creating a financial strategy that ensures your practice remains profitable while continuing to grow.
