How to Develop your Private Practice
- 9.15am–4.30pm, 19 November 2009
- Thrumpton Hall, Nottinghamshire
A practical exploration of how to develop a private practice, perfectly suited for those fresh out of the NHS, or for those wanting to give an established practice a boost. For many, knowing how to market and operate a successful practice is a mystery – this course will give ready-to-use tips and thought-provoking exercises to help you grow your client list. Looking at the programme will give you a flavour of the course - including: marketing, communicating your 'brand', provision of resource information and you will leave the day having compiled a new action plan and with a course booklet. Any questions delegates have for James will be given to him prior to the course so he can answer each specific one; which he is more than happy to throughout the day. He prefers to have no more than 20 people so he can focus on everyones requirements, including looking at websites and business cards to offer general advice. After the course he offers each delegate 1/2 hour free consultation. This course is to be run in the East Midlands area. We are waiting until the early bird date closes on 20 August to find out how many delegates we have prior to deciding which venue to use (they are all within a 5 mile radius of junction 24 of the M1). We are hoping to get the full 20 delegates, in which case we will be going with our prefered venue which is Thrumpton Hall www.thrumptonhall.com
Course outcomes
It is intended that at the conclusion of the programme the independent practitioner will have:
- Sufficient knowledge to be able to plan the marketing of their practice
- Ideas of how to generate quality referrals from their client base
- A basic grounding in business discipline, to ensure their efforts bring financial rewards and a plan of action to go forward from the course and realise their vision for their practice.
