HOW DO people feel about us
Practice Setup
You (David) really have been terrific and we couldn’t have come this far without your unfailing advice, availability and support. We look forward to our ongoing association with you and Health and Life as our successful new practice continues to evolve and take shape!

The appraisal was honest and confronting. But most importantly, their recommendations gave us strategies by which to resolve current conflicts and alternative ways of doing things which at present were seen to be ineffective or inefficient.

Want to spend less time worrying or managing your practice?

Want to spend more time having fun and focusing on the things that you care about?

If you answered YES then

How future proof is your practice?



Will you attract and retain your best staff?

Four key areas to focus on....

How are you performing financially?

Do you know monthly how are you performing financially?

Making a profit is a result of what you do
and not why you do what you do?

Your Patients and Provider

Your customers (your patients and providers) easily work out if they like you or love what you do.

Are you doing the right thing the right way?

How are your processes? Why not automate many boring but important tasks.

Is your team learning and growing together?

Use useful tools to keep track of staff morale, new ideas and fix any costly mistakes.

In the end it is all about
succession planning

Successful succession planning is all about trust

It is a process and not event. Start from the day you open your practice doors, if you want to recruit the best for your practice. It is never to late but you should start now. 

Potential owner providers (and spouses, partners, bankers) want to see excellent clinical/business systems and accountability.

If you can show it, you can sell it. This is why people will place more trust and value in you.
