Beyond Survival: Leading Through Change in Primary Care

🎙 Change has always been part of general practice. But for many Primary Care leaders, the pace and scale of change has never felt greater. In this episode of The Halfway Point, Ben Scorer is joined by Danielle Hann, Director of GPMplus, to explore what effective leadership looks like in an environment shaped by workforce pressures, financial challenges, digital transformation, neighbourhood working and ongoing NHS reform. Together, they discuss the difference between simply managing change and truly leading people through it. From supporting teams during uncertain times to identifying opportunities for innovation and growth, this conversation focuses on the practical realities facing Practice Managers and Primary Care leaders today. Drawing on Danielle's experience supporting practices across the country, the episode explores the leadership behaviours, skills and mindsets that help organisations remain resilient and adaptable, even during periods of significant change. Whether you're new to primary care leadership or have years of experience behind you, this episode offers practical insights, reassurance and encouragement for anyone helping to shape the future of general practice. * * * * 💼 If you and your Practice, PCN, Federation, etc. would like some flexible management support from LPM, please let us know via https://locumpm.co.uk/engage-with-lpm. 💻 If you are an existing Primary Care Manager and would like to work with us at LPM, please also let us know via https://locumpm.co.uk/work-with-lpm.
