PM Away Weekend: Why Practice Managers Need Space Too

Sometimes the best thing a Practice Manager can do for their practice is step away from it… if only for a weekend! In this special episode of The Halfway Point, Ben is joined in person by Practice Manager Jennie Dock, whilst attending a PM Away Weekend. Alongside fellow PMs, we spent a weekend together, creating space to connect, reflect and recharge away from the day-to-day pressures of Primary Care. In this episode, we explore how the idea started, how the weekend was structured, and why bringing Practice Managers together in this way can have such a powerful impact. We also discuss how listeners could organise something similar in their own area, sharing practical tips for making it happen. If you have ever felt that leadership in General Practice can be isolating, this conversation is a reminder that support and community really matter. This weekend was kindly sponsored by Dene Healthcare (https://denehc.co.uk), whose support helped make the event possible. If you would like to have a PM Away Weekend in your area, please reach out to us at Locum PM or Jennie Dock directly, and we will help make this happen. **** Full resources and the show notes for this episode can be found at The Halfway Point podcast page: https://locumpm.co.uk/the-halfway-point 🤗 This episode may contain affiliate links that are part of partner or referral programs.
