A seminar held at the Solihull Institute of Medical Training and Research Centre at Spire Parkway Hospital recently, devised to help medical professionals become more commercially focused, was a huge success. 

Accountancy firm Ballard Dale Syree Watson LLP, combined forces with affinity organisations to deliver the free morning seminar. Credit and debt management company Fraser & Blue and web-based clinical and practice management system company Galen 7 presented compelling case studies on how to maximise private practice efficiency and profitability.

Martin Woodfield from the IC-e group, a marketing and web development company, based in Manchester and Warwickshire, talked to the delegates on how to market a private practice. 

Ballard Dale Syree Watson's specialist healthcare team have years of consolidated experience on advising private medical practitioners on tax and business matters to ultimately help them become more profitable.

Partner Matthew Watson, feels the timing and relevance of the seminar offered an invaluable business resource for those attending. "There has never been a more critical time for medical professionals to learn how to become more corporate and competitive in the way they run their practices, particularly in the climate of post-recessional recovery."

The event was well attended by eminent consultants, senior registrars and other medical professionals and clearly fulfilled its objectives.  Urologist, Mr J Sullivan said: 

"I came here because I was interested in improving my financial systems and admin within my own private practice. I would recommend this seminar to consultants at any stage in private practice. I have also learnt about marketing myself and debt collection."  

By giving practical advice on how independent consultants already running or considering establishing private practices can flourish in today's difficult economic climate, the seminar provided an indispensable learning experience. 

Mr Rupesh Bhatt said: "I came to this seminar to seek advice on running my private practice, in particular keeping financial records and systems and debt collection, I haven't been disappointed"
