Shownotes

When Dr Luke Ward started looking for a Practice, he wasn't only looking for somewhere to work.

He was looking for somewhere worth buying into.

That changed the questions he asked.

Who owned it? How long had the team stayed? Was the Practice still being built from scratch, or had it already proved it could run well without chaos?

Luke eventually joined Robina Town Medical Centre and EZT Medical Centre on the Gold Coast. Today, he's one of five equal Owners across the two Practices.

He breaks down how he assessed the opportunity, prepared himself for ownership, and what junior GPs should look for before buying into a Practice.

What You'll Get From This Episode

  • The questions Luke asked before choosing which Practice to join
  • Why long-term staff retention told him more about culture than a polished pitch ever could
