The Growth Cycle Of a Clinic

10:00 AM – 10:50 AM
Lee Selsick
The Power Of Branding To Attract Doctors and Patients
- My presentation will begin by dispelling myths about the value of design and branding to smaller, privately-owned businesses – those that suggest branding is a ’soft issue’ and that returns that are somehow vague and immeasurable.
- I will then show how branding and design adds value with four key outcomes – one of which is the creation of valuable relationships. This is a key component in attracting the very best talent and generating better net promoter scores with your patients.
11:00 AM – 11:50 AM
Claire Ponsford

The Accounting Roadmap
- All about recruitment and retention of doctors.
- Good doctors will always have options and Lifestyle options – something to suit the doctor and their family
- What motivates the doctor? Teaching? Money?
- Contracts and marketing – support for their special interests – review your patient base
- The finance and business function of a general practice plays an important role not only in the recruitment of doctors but keeping the doctors you have.
- In a tight market you can be assured that your doctors are being approached on a regular basis by recruiters and even other practice owners to come and work for them.
- Each doctor will have different motivators that tick their boxes and it is important for a practice owner to be aware of these and then ensure that their practice can deliver on them.
- A strategic plan and then an implementation plan can help to ensure that your entire team is working cohesively to deliver your Vision of your practice and to be the best you can be.
- A strong finance function, where the owner and practice manager are across the “numbers” of the practice can ensure that the practice is performing financially and that you understand the value of each doctor and what they bring to the practice. Understanding your finances is also necessary to minimise wastage and every financial opportunity is being taken advantage of.
02:30 PM – 03:20 PM
Dr Emily Carroll
Leaders Journey

Dr Amantha Imber
Thank God It’s Monday: How to create the best place to work in the universe
According to research, only 15% of employees are fully engaged, which means the other 85% are just rocking up to do their job, get a pay cheque, and go home. Yet to thrive as an organisation, having happy, enthusiastic, and productive staff is critical for success.
Where did organisations get it so wrong? Why do most people hate Mondays? And what do leaders need to do to create the best place to work in the universe post-Corona? Hear from Dr Amantha Imber, Founder of Inventium, who attracted global attention by being the first CEO in Australia to introduce unlimited paid leave and is now one of the few companies in Australia embracing the four day work week.
Amantha will share some of the insights gained from Inventium’s headline-grabbing practices and from her consultancy’s work in judging the Australian Financial Review’s Best Places to Work list.
Key takeaways:
- Practical, science-backed strategies on how to create a group of truly energised staff
- Counter-intuitive methods to keep people fully engaged
- The key ingredients required to create the best workplace in the universe.

Five Easy Steps To Bigger Profits
