How wanting a full clinic can impede the growth of your private practice. I know a surgeon who was so passionate about giving the best care to his patients, that he: 📅 Let NHS follow-ups book into his private slots 👨⚕️ Saw NHS follow-ups more often than required As you can imagine, he is incredibly popular among his NHS patients. But he also came to me asking: ❓ Why aren’t I seeing more private patients? The simple answer is, he was cannibalising his private slots with NHS patients. You may look at this and think “That’s obvious! I’d never do that!” but it’s an easy trap to fall into. If you have patients that need to see you, and you have empty slots… it’s very easy to be tempted to fill them. You might look at an empty diary in 2 weeks’ time and think “What’s the harm in filling it? At least I’ll have a busy clinic!” But by taking those private slots away you’re making them unavailable to private patients. And private patients often want to be seen anywhere from 48 hours’ time. So by not keeping your private slots open at short notice, they’re unlikely to be filled with private patients at all. I guess the moral of my story is: Hold your nerve! 😬 Don’t let the desire for a full clinic accidentally prevent private patients from being able to book to see you.

This really is fantastic insight from Oliver Capel and Team Medico Digital. I'm usually sceptical about industry-wide PPC stats because so many factors influence each campaign. The quality of the ad copy, the landing page, what a "conversion" is for that specific campaign, etc... all play into the success or failure of a campaign, so I don't read too much into averages. But it's great to see that they've taken the latter into account, and as their team has managed those accounts I can presume an equal (high) standard of ad copy and landing page across them all, so it adds an awful lot of weight and credibility to the analysis. Thanks very much for doing it, and sharing it, Ollie!

(Hint: it's not cosmetic surgery) 🤔 Why are some 'competitive' fields struggling to convert? 🧠 Mental health ads are getting clicks, but not conversions. The reason might surprise you. Plus, we've uncovered how NHS waiting lists are reshaping the private healthcare landscape. Ready to see where you stand?

Another really useful and insightful article from Sue O'Gorman and Hannah Browning in Independent Practitioner Today on how to find the right medical secretarial support. To the many great medical secretaries and PAs in my network - is there anything you'd add, given Hannah and Sue would have had to work to a word count and couldn't possibly fit everything in?! https://lnkd.in/eAvVrCTE #healthcaremarketing #surgeons #doctors #privatehospital #privatepractice #privatehealthcare #healthyprivatepractice #patientexperience #healthcare
