Medical practitioners

Running a successful medical practice is highly demanding. Not only do you need first class medical knowledge but also all the skills of running a modern, profitable business. Our specialist medical services department is jointly managed by Andrew Spear FCCA and Jo Fursman FCCA through the Lentells Office in Chard. Andrew is a recognised expert in medical practitioner services and professional partnerships and has lectured widely across the South West on financial issues for GP practices. Jo has an in depth knowledge of medical practices and has several years experience in dealing with GP practitioners and other medical related clients.

We currently deal with over 100 medical practices as well as a range of consultants, dentists, nursing homes and complementary practitioners. Our experienced team of professionals will give you expert advice and support allowing you to focus on running your practice. Our in depth knowledge ensures we are able to provide advice on VAT, pensions, practice property issues, partnership agreements, all financial impacts of the new GMS contract, PMS funding and contracts and practice based commissioning.

We also supply the full range of support services such as:

  • Bookkeeping – offering advice on systems or full bookkeeping service.
