Build your orthopaedic private practice with confidence
Expert advice and practical support for orthopaedic consultants establishing, managing and growing their private practice.
Clinical excellence meets business expertise
Starting private practice is an exciting step, but navigating the business side can be daunting.
We are Nick and Helen Beattie, the husband-and-wife team behind The Orthopaedic Practice Studio. Nick is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon who has run his own private practice since 2020, while Helen is a Chartered Accountant and senior business executive who also manages the business and operational side of Nick's practice.
Together, we provide independent advice, practical resources and personalised guidance to help orthopaedic consultants establish and develop their private practices with confidence.
Orthopaedic Practice Setup
Setting up a private practice can feel daunting, with numerous forms, applications and decisions to manage, often all at once.
From hospital practising privileges and insurer recognition to fee structures, startup costs and seeing your first patients, we help you navigate the process, avoid unnecessary delays and get your practice up and running, generating income sooner.
How we can help?
Finance and Business Management
Managing the financial side of private practice can be challenging, with costs, invoicing, payments and financial decisions all competing for your time.
From understanding startup expenses and managing cash flow to establishing efficient processes and monitoring profitability, we help you build strong financial foundations, avoid unnecessary costs and maximise the financial potential of your practice.
Practice Operations & Administration
Running a private practice involves far more than seeing patients, with bookings, enquiries, paperwork and administration all demanding your time.
From choosing the right practice management systems and establishing efficient workflows to managing billing and making the most of medical secretarial support, we help you streamline your operations, reduce administrative headaches and free up more time to focus on your patients and growing your practice.
Marketing & Practice Development
Building a successful private practice takes more than clinical expertise. Attracting patients, developing referral relationships and standing out in an competitive market can be challenging.
From creating a professional website and improving online visibility to strengthening your consultant profile and identifying opportunities for growth, we help you build your reputation, attract more patients and develop a thriving, sustainable private practice.
