GP retention: What medical practice leaders need to know

Before you can successfully recruit General Practitioners, you need a plan for GP retention. Losing your doctors is a huge cost to your medical practice and can be demoralising. It isn't just the time and financial cost of recruitment, it is the cost to the practice that loses a GP to serve its patients, and then the cost of repeating the recruitment process all over again. Focusing on retention as part of your wider recruitment strategy is a crucial consideration. Gemma Gough explains in this week's episode of the podcast.

The GP onboarding process for doctors and clinic leaders

Many doctors and medical practice leaders don't fully understand what it takes to get a new GP started at a clinic in Australia, especially for international doctors. For example, it could take 18 months to get an overseas GP from recruitment to consulting in Australia. This is why it is key to know the onboarding process. GPs can plan their lives around key milestones and timelines, and clinic leaders can prepare recruitment strategies that ensure the sustainability of their practices. Gemma Gough breaks down the key aspects of GP onboarding in Australia. Don't miss any insights - hit subscribe now and follow Living The Australian Dream. Want to work as a GP in Australia?
