Is this the year that you plan to launch your private healthcare practice? Perhaps you have been considering the move for some time now, but are unsure where to start.
As the leading provider of professional services to the UK private healthcare industry, at Designated Medical we have successfully guided and supported a wide variety of consultants, GPs and healthcare practitioners with the set-up, on-going management and growth of their private practices.
Establishing a private healthcare practice should be an uplifting experience, but the reality can often feel somewhat overwhelming. Navigating the world of private practice can be challenging, and it’s important to break the process down into manageable key stages and steps, to help you avoid the common pitfalls and mistakes, saving time and money in the process.
Here are our top 5 tips to help you achieve success in launching and growing your private practice:
- Vision – Be clear about your vision for the future and why you are making this move.
- Value Proposition – Clearly define the value proposition for your clinic, and compare it to your competition e.g. what is your clinic, who are you patients, what services/treatments will you be offering, and what are the patient benefits?
- Unique Selling Points (USPs) – How will you compete in the market and why should patients choose you e.g. breadth of services, location, quality of treatment.
- Business Planning – It is vital to approach this as a healthcare business, with a focus on profitability. Be clear on your various revenue streams and all costs.
- Day-to-Day Operations – Think about how your clinic will function once it’s up and running. Focus on the patient journey and experience, team members, and technology.
