Case study - Experienced GP Partner makes more and works less

Case study - GP Partner makes £55,000 without doing any extra work.

Dr Robbins is an experienced GP Partner and was pretty happy with how her surgery was running. But always looking to improve she enrolled on our course. Surely and experienced partner from a high performing surgery wouldn’t learn anything from our course, would they?

Listen to how Dr Robins increased income by £18,000 AND reduced workload.

“Medics Money has transformed our practice strategy, it’s been invaluable for us. The core impact has been prioritising partner time for business development over front-line service delivery. The QOF work has been transformative and we’ve reworked our admin letter coding protocols as a secondary impact”

If I said you could make £55,000 without doing any extra work, you’d probably cry “SCAM”, and you’d be right.

The ’SCAM’ is that as GP partners we are not given ANY business training, yet we are expected to run a multi-million pound business (GP Practices) and left to learn business “on the job”. This = small mistakes, and in a business turning over several million pounds, small mistakes cost a LOT of money.

Here’s a message I got from a partner on our partnership course recently:

“Hi Tommy, Just saw this today. Thanks you very much for this lovely course. Getting on very well and learning so much. We have realised after the last 2 sessions that we hadn’t claimed income worth £55k which we are now going to be paid in January which is excellent news.”

This £55k was claimed without doing any EXTRA work. It was combination of reclaiming business rates, some tax tweaks and tightening up on LCS claims using a spreadsheet we built for partners on our course.

And that’s the biggest mistake we see partners making – doing work but not being paid for it. In most businesses getting paid is easy, you do the work and then you get paid. Unfortunately, as partners, getting paid often involves convoluted claims processes, which are easy to get wrong. Each year we have to tick off a tedious list of mandatory training, like reminders not to use water on an electrical fire. But we get no mandatory BUSINESS training: that’s why we started the Medics’ Money Partnership Course.

As GPs ourselves, we know how little you get taught about running your GP business, which is why we started this course.

The Medics’ Money GP Partnership course will set you up for a happy, profitable and rewarding career as a GP partner, whether you are a new partner or have been a partner for many years.

We will teach you the essential financial and business aspects of being a GP partner such as understanding the accounts and the key financial metrics that will increase profitability and deliver the best care to your patients. 

We will also cover the equally important topics of how to manage your workload, looking after your own health and wellbeing so you can be the best GP Partner you can be whilst also being the best mother, father, husband, wife, partner and doctor that you can be.

The Medics’ Money GP Partnership course will set you up for a happy, profitable and rewarding career as a partner.

GP Partnership Course FAQs

As GPs ourselves, and with Tommy a GP Partner, we know how tight cash flow is so we allow you to secure your place with a £300 deposit.

The total cost of the course is £2,500 +VAT = £3,000 total.

👍The good news is there are several ways the NHS will cover the entire cost of our course (detailed below).

Option 1 for NHS funding

If you are a new partner and eligible for New to Partnership funding then our course is approved for this BUT if you are NOT eligible there are other NHS funding options ….

Option 2 for NHS funding – PCN funded

The 2023/24 PCN DES outlines a Leadership and management payment worth (worth £20,500 to a typical PCN with 30,000 patients) and many previous participants on our course have used this funding. 

Page 65 of the PCN DES Contract specification 2023-24 outlines more detail: https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/network-contract-des-contract-specification-for-2023-24-pcn-requirements-and-entitlements/

Option 3 for NHS funding

NHS England provides service development funding (sometimes called system development funding) to each ICB as additional funding to support PCNs. The funding is to support workforce programmes with many ICBs using it to fund training for partners, some of whom have used it for our course. 

Apply now and we will give you more details on funding. 

Option 4 – get your practice to pay and tax deductions could make it cost a lot less than you think!

💰If you are self funding the net cost of the course is just £1,188 for a 45% taxpayer and £848 for a 60% taxpayer. If you split the cost amongst a typical 5 partner practice it would cost each partner just £170 net to send one individual on our course. 

More details on New to Partnership funding

For those that became partners after April 2021 and before 31 March 2023 and subject to eligibility criteria, the New to Partnership funding can cover the entire cost of our course. Further details below. 

If you are using the New to Partnership funding here’s some specifics to be aware of

Some specifics to be aware of for those using the NHS New to GP Partnership funding:

To make use of the funding, you need to have become a partner prior to 31 March 2023 and have applied for the New to Partnership scheme by 30 June 2023.

The NHS will only approve training that commenced after you have become a partner.

Training must start within the first year of accepting a partnership role/receiving your welcome letter, unless otherwise agreed with NHSEI

Financial claims should be submitted via NHSEI within three months of purchasing the training. Full details for claiming reimbursement will be shared through the welcome letter sent to successful applicants.

You (or your practice) must pay the full amount, i.e. the NHS does not pay this for you. Instead, the NHS will reimburse you the full amount 1 year from the date you signed the partnership agreement or one year from the date of your New to Partnership funding letter.

We will issue an invoice for the remainder of the £3,000 shortly after you’ve paid your deposit. In order to qualify for reimbursement the NHS insists that you claim within three months of this invoice date. Once you have made payment, we will issue a receipt. Page 8 “business training” in this document gives further details. NHS Guidance.

No our course is for ALL partners. Many experienced partners join our course as they take on extra business responsibility eg they become the senior partner or the finance partner. Non GP partners are especially welcome and we have Practice Managers, Physios, Pharmacists, Paramedics and Nurse partners on our course.
