GP Partnership & PCN Disputes: Why Money Is Rarely the Real Problem | Dr Clare Sieber
In this episode of Beyond the Balance Sheet, Katie Collin is joined by Dr Clare Sieber, practising GP and accredited mediator specialising in GP partnership and PCN disputes.
They explore why disputes that appear to be about money, workload or decision-making are often rooted in something deeper, including trust, communication, different values and conflicting ambitions for the future of the practice.
Katie and Clare also discuss:
- The early warning signs of partnership conflict
- Why financial pressure can expose existing tensions
- The importance of strong governance and up-to-date partnership agreements
- What mediation actually involves and when to use it
- The growing challenges around PCNs and neighbourhood working
They also look at why due diligence before joining a partnership needs to go beyond the numbers, and why understanding who you are going into business with can be just as important as understanding the finances.
