If you’re a GP or Practice Owner who’s ambitious but exhausted, this episode is just what you need.

Dr Lucy Randall shares how she went from UK GP partner to co-owning three Australian clinics without sacrificing her family, her sanity, or her standards. You’ll hear the practical moves that matter: buying existing sites (not shiny fit-outs), standing up a minimum viable clinic quickly, and reinvesting profits with discipline.

We unpack the real levers for scaling plus Lucy’s refreshingly honest recruitment playbook that actually works in a tight market. We also go deep on leading through Medicare and policy changes with transparency and collaboration so your doctors feel supported (and stay).

Finally, Lucy talks candidly about building with a life partner, creating boundaries that protect home life, and ditching the guilt by outsourcing low-value tasks so you can be present with your kids and present for your team.

If you want a bigger clinic and a better life, this is your next right step.
