Setting up a practice

Set up your own practice, take the initiative
Do you prefer to shape your ownworking day? Do you enjoy deciding which direction to take and are you ready to take responsibility for a team? Do you prefer to set out work processes and treatment pathways independently? Is financial independence important to you, and do you value organisational freedom? Then you can really make a name for yourself as a rural GP in your own practice.

Put your personal vision into practice and decide for yourself on procedures, the range of services offered and consultation hours. Working autonomously and independently – with a well-coordinated team – you’ll build your own business and be able to strike the perfect balance between family and career. Take the plunge and take control of your own professional future.
