Scaling in an MMM5 Town: The Real Story Behind Growing From 2.3 to 8.5 FTE GPs

How do you scale a clinic without burning out or breaking what made it special?

In this episode, Dr Todd Cameron sits down with rural GP owner Dr Ben Nally to unpack the real journey from a struggling, loss-making practice to a thriving 14+ GP clinic. You’ll learn what actually drives sustainable growth, stronger teams, and clearer leadership, especially in regional practices.

Scale a GP clinic in a rural community with limited workforce
Lead as a Clinic Owner and community figure, not just a business operator
Modernise a legacy practice without losing culture or trust
Work toward small strategic wins that create momentum in struggling clinics
Invest in people, leadership, and space to unlock sustainable growth
