Shownotes

Navigating GP compensation has long been a heated topic, with both clinic owners and doctors feeling like they’re on opposite sides of a battle. But what if the real problem isn’t the GP, or the owner, but the system itself?

Have a question about this episode?

Ask Todd, Sachin, and over a thousand Owners directly in the SGPO Facebook Group:

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the financial mechanics of General Practice. We’re cutting through the noise to explore why the traditional "percentage split" debate is a distraction from the bigger issue — sustainability. 

Whether you're a Practice Owner trying to keep the lights on or a GP navigating contract negotiations, this conversation will give you a new perspective on what really matters.

In this episode of the Scale My Clinic Podcast, you’ll learn:

  • Why the GP vs. owner battle is missing the real issue (00:57)
  • How reducing service fees can backfire on both doctors and patients (05:07) 
  • The ripple effects of underfunding and corporatization on general practice (15:23) 
  • How to negotiate smarter for a long-term, sustainable career (27:55) 
  • A game-changing tool to structure the ideal GP role (33:32) 

The future of General Practice depends on collaboration, not division. If we don’t find a way to work together, we risk losing control of the profession to larger corporate interests.

Join us as we dig deep into this crucial conversation and arm you with the insights to make informed decisions about your future in General Practice.
