Picture this. It’s Wednesday. You’re halfway through the week. The inbox is still pinging, the rota has changed twice, and someone has just asked for “a quick chat”.
Welcome to The Halfway Point. The midweek breather you did not know you needed.
Hosted by the Locum Practice Manager (LPM), this podcast is designed for anyone in a Primary Care Management role who is juggling strategy, staffing, finances, CQC, patient demand, and everything in between.
Every Wednesday, we drop a fresh episode packed with practical ideas, honest conversations and real-world solutions to help your practice not just survive the week, but genuinely thrive. No fluff. No theory that only works on paper. Just grounded insight from people who understand the pressure and pace of general practice.
We will dive into the hot topics shaping Primary Care as they unfold, from access and digital transformation to workforce, funding and patient engagement. Along the way, we will be joined by industry leaders from across the NHS, both those working inside practices and those supporting them from third-party organisations. Expect open conversations, different perspectives, and actionable takeaways you can use.
Think of it as your midweek reset. A space to reflect, recharge and pick up one or two ideas that could make a real difference in your practice.
So grab a coffee, take half an hour for yourself, and join us at The Halfway Point.
