Private practice involves far more than delivering excellence in clinical care. Whether you're considering ownership, buying into a practice, growing an existing business or planning for the future, success increasingly relies on sound business, governance and risk management decisions.

Join AMA SA and a panel of trusted experts for an evening of practical. Topics will include:

Financial sustainability and planning
Technology, cybersecurity and practice continuity
Employment, privacy and legal risk
Governance and leadership for practice owners
Practical lessons from experienced practice owners

The event will focus on the questions practice owners should be asking, common pitfalls to avoid and the decisions that can have the greatest long-term impact on the success and sustainability of a practice.

The evening will feature presentations from:

Hood Sweeney
efex
DW Fox Tucker Lawyers
Experienced private practice owners

Presentations will be followed by an informal Q&A and a networking opportunity, providing attendees with the opportunity to seek perspectives from practitioners and experts.

Light refreshments and drinks provided!

AMA SA members are welcome to bring one non-member guest at no additional cost, including a Practice Manager or other non-clinical member of their team.
