The 60-Consult Myth: Work Smarter, Not Harder in Your Clinic

LISTEN NOW

CLICK TO SEE HOW WE CAN HELP

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.

 

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

  • The biggest risk of 60-consults a day (05:35)
