Aspiring to Partnership Programme

Londonwide LMCs have developed a brand-new and exciting course for those who are aspiring to, or new to becoming a partner in general practice. The course aims to give you the knowledge and skills required to effectively run a GP practice so that you are better prepared for the challenges associated with this rewarding career choice.

The programme has been developed by experienced GPs, including GP Partners, accomplished practice managers and knowledgeable field experts so that it is tailored specifically to general practice and will help aspiring partners to understand how to manage and lead a successful GP practice. 

How does it work:

It is a 6-module programme, whereby delegates can choose to attend the sessions that best meet their learning needs, or they can attend all 6 if they wish. It is composed of 5 interactive half-day virtual sessions (we can provide flexibility on delivery timelines) using the Zoom platform. Delegates will need to have working cameras and microphones to be able to be active in the sessions. They are not webinars, and therefore require delegate participation to enable attendees to fully benefit from the valuable training provided. The final module is a half day face to face session. Please note this can be run in a local area if commissioned.

The 6 modules are:

Module 1: GP Regulation and NHSE
Module 2: Practice Finance
Module 3: Practice Development
Module 4: Practice Premises
Module 5: Due Diligence and Partnership Agreements
Module 6: Team Leadership and HR.

What delegates on the pilot have said so far:

We are now halfway through our pilot cohort which has been commissioned by North-East London Training Hub, here are some of the things the attendees have fed back to us so far;

“A highlight was meeting members of Londonwide and knowing that we can reach out and connect.” Anonymous module 1 delegate.

“A highlight was a clearer understanding of financial matters pertaining to partnership.” Anonymous module 2 delegate.

“Excellent presenter, kept engaged despite a very heavy topic, but really well taught and learnt a lot.” Anonymous module 2 delegate.

“As always, a well delivered, engaging and truly helpful session.” Anonymous module 3 delegate.

Londonwide would love to be able to offer this fantastic, unique, and much needed course to all our constituents. If you would like more information, or would like to commission a cohort, please contact Kayleigh Taylor, Project Manager at kayleigh.taylor@lmc.org.uk
