When Dr Francesca Verney made the leap into independent practice ownership, she committed to doing things differently - recruiting slower, building a team that shares his values, and focusing on sustainable, single-practice growth. In this interactive workshop, she will share her experiences and lead a collaborative discussion on how to attract and retain the right people while fostering a strong, values-led practice culture.

  • Discover Dr Verney's slow recruitment’ philosophy – learn how taking the time to hire for cultural fit can lead to long-term stability and staff satisfaction.
  • Explore real-world retention strategies – discuss practical ways to foster loyalty and reduce turnover in independent practices.
  • Share challenges and solutions – exchange experiences with fellow practice owners on common recruitment pitfalls and how to overcome them.
