Everything is getting more expensive. Rent, consumables, insurance, fuel, wages. And it's not slowing down. Interest rates are likely heading up. Patients are starting to pull back. Staff are feeling the pinch personally and some are quietly looking at their options. This is the episode for Practice Owners who want to get ahead of it rather than react when it's too late. Todd and Sachin walk through how the current environment is hitting owners, Practices, staff and patients, and what to do about each one. What you'll get from this episode: How rising costs, inflation and global uncertainty flow through every layer of your Practice Why now is actually the time to invest, not retreat, and what "strategically contrarian" means in practice How to have the conversation with your team before they come to you asking for more The whiffle: a simple framework for hearing what's really on your team's mind Why extending hours and going deeper in your community beats cutting back Resources mentioned: Episode 97 : The Most Expensive Room In Your Practice Episode 43 : The GP Pay Debate: Stop Playing Into Their Hands! …..
