Many GPs are stuck seeing 50 to 60 patients a day, convinced it’s the only way to stay profitable. But that high volume comes at a serious cost, burnout, compliance risk, and a clinic that can't scale. In this episode, we bust the 60-consult myth and share a smarter model.

In this episode Dr Todd Cameron and Dr Sachin Patel reveal why chasing volume is burning out GPs, and how a sustainable, low-volume model can actually lead to greater profitability, clinical safety, and work-life balance.

Whether you’re a practice owner worried about your high-volume doctors, or a GP who feels trapped by the demand to “see everyone,” this conversation will open your eyes to new ways of working that are safer, more profitable, and far more sustainable.
