Gerry and the GPs NHS Reforms

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.

Medical Aesthetics VAT on Cosmetic Treatments

Should medical aesthetics clinics be VAT registered?
There has been a lot of concern from medical professionals who run a private practice on the issue of charging VAT on the treatments provided.

Medical aesthetics clinics which have a turn over of £67,000 (the VAT registration threshold) are in a dilemma.

Do you become a VAT registered company?

In most business's this would be the case and they would be required to registered and pay VAT (20% from 4th jan 2010) on their turn over quarterly.

Medical practices, treatments and prescriptions for medicines do not require VAT registration as these services and products are VAT exempt. This place medical aesthetics clinics in a very grey area, are they medical which is VAT exempt or are they aesthetic, cosmetic which would require VAT registration and the clinic would have to absorb the VAT or charge this additional to the patients.

Some clinics identify if the patient requires the treatment for medical or cosmetic reasons to reduce the VAT this may or may not be a solution. Until the HMRC have a clear classification for medical aesthetics practices this will always be a difficult one to answer.

You always discuss your VAT or tax questions with a qualified accountant.

Let me know your thoughts and experiences with this.

Chemical Peels Courses

There are many different chemical peel treatments available rangeing from mild superficial peels to agressive and invasive peels.

Some superficial peels can be applied by a beautician, but stronger chemical peels should be applied by a medical professional who has recieved chemical peel training.

Some stronger peels like the Obagi Blue Peels should only be applied by a doctor.

The Obagi is a one off peel treatments which requires some downtime.

The superficial skin peels will require a course of peel treatments to acheive improvement with very little downtime if any.

With such a wide range of chemical peels available you should always speak to a medical professional regarding the best options for your treatments.
