NHS reforms will include General Practitioners having to manage their own NHS practices.
Many NHS doctors surgeries will have to understand some of the fundamentals of running a business, budgeting, forecasting, procurement, leadership and providing cost effective services.
What many have not yet considered is the feasibility of introducing supplementary business units that can generate extra revenue to support their current NHS medical services.
Since earlier reforms in the dental area, NHS and private Dentists have already started to add additional services such as medical aesthetic procedures (botox. Dermal fillers, skin peels), holistic treatments, beauty, diet and nutrition some have even introduced private medical services including dermatology consultations and in some cases cosmetic surgery.
Will the local general practice change in the same way as dental practices once the reforms have been implemented and how will GPs manage their practice?
How will the government’s health reforms affect GPs and patient care?
PCTs currently pay hospitals for services to their patients, when doctors have control of their PCT budgets and have to make decisions based on not only patient care but also if the practice can afford the service or medicine.
Doctors Training
KT Training introduced business training as part of cosmetic courses.
In our 6 years of training medical professionals we realised that doctors have limited knowledge of the fundamentals of running a private business due to the nature of their specialty and the structure of the NHS.
We have also found that doctors have the intelligence to understand the fundamentals if they are provided
with the correct training.
How do KT Training assist GPs in developing private cosmetic practices?
The complimentary business lecture which has been called the condensed 2 hour MBA in the medical aesthetics business is part of the introduction to botox training course.
We provide a structured presentation to educate doctors on the fundamentals required to start and developing a successful cosmetic practice.
