Course Overview

Most podiatrists enter the profession because they want to help people, not because they want to manage spreadsheets, negotiate commercial leases, or optimize logistics. However, the difference between a struggling practice and a thriving, scalable business lies in its infrastructure.

Whether you are a solo practitioner on the road or looking to scale to a multi-chair clinic, this course provides the 'Heads Up' on what you need to consider when starting out.

What You Will Learn

• Strategic Structure: Evaluate the pros and cons of Domiciliary, Room Rental, and Fixed Premises models. Learn the "Trigger Points" for when to renegotiate your lease or move from Sole Trader to a Limited Company.

• Operational Efficiency: Master "The 3-Visit Cluster Rule" and route optimisation to ensure your travel time isn't stealing your profits.

• The Digital Backbone: Implement "The Silent Secretary." Learn how to use digital systems (like Cliniko) and virtual receptionists to ensure your business stays "open" while your hands are busy.

• Growth & Scalability: Learn from real-world "war stories"—from the 800m relocation rule to managing staff reliability and patient retention.

• Asset Protection: Understand the "Corporate Veil" and how to protect your personal assets as your professional exposure grows.

Who Is This Course For?

• The New Entrant: If you are just starting out and want to build your business on a solid, professional foundation from Day 1.

• The Domiciliary Practitioner: For those looking to optimize their mobile office, increase their hourly earning potential, and eventually transition into a physical clinic.

• The Practice Owner: For established podiatrists who feel like they are "stuck in the business" and want to implement systems that allow the business to run without them.
