Thinking of Leaving General Practice
We, at SSP, are passionate about providing high quality care to our patients and know that we share that passion with many GPs. However, we are also aware that the strains and stresses are ever increasing, as are the levels of administration and red tape. All this, combined with increasing cost means that times are very challenging for GPs and GP practices.
Thinking of exiting your practice?
So – if you are thinking of exiting your practice then SSP are the ideal choice!
The SSP Health centralised model provides several solutions for practice owners considering retirement, looking to exit their practice or considering reducing their workload.
SSP Health Centralised Model
A full exit for GP partners/owners
Where the GP partners/owners can fully retire, with SSP taking over the contract, and acquiring the practice(s). This can be achieved within 12 weeks.
An ownership exit with continued employment
SSP takes over the contract and acquires the practice, with partners having the flexibility to remain as salaried employees or as independent contractors, continuing to deliver services for their patients. The GPs can work as much or as little as they like, and in a fully flexible manner. This can be achieved within 12 weeks.
