The General Practice Playbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764676809)

The General Practice Playbook: The Australian Guide to Starting Up for Success is the first comprehensive, Australian-specific guide to GP practice ownership.

Written by Associate Professor Bernard Shiu - Clinical Director of Banksia Medical Centre and a practitioner with more than fifteen years of building and leading a multi-site general practice - this book addresses one of the most significant gaps in the professional preparation of Australian GPs. Most doctors who open a clinic do so with no formal business training, no roadmap, and no honest guide to what they are about to take on.

This book changes that.

It covers everything a GP needs to know about practice ownership: from the deeply personal decision of whether to start at all, through business planning, workforce management, MBS compliance, financial management, legal and ethical obligations, accreditation, sustainability, and the leadership qualities that determine whether a practice endures.

With a foreword by Professor Michael Kidd AO and endorsements from Dr Mukesh Haikerwal AC, Professor Karen Price, and Dr John Deery, The General Practice Playbook is an essential resource for GP registrars approaching Fellowship, newly qualified GPs considering practice ownership, and experienced practice owners seeking a current and practical reference.

Honest. Practical. Australian.
