Independents Day (iDay23) Report

Going private proves popular

Over 95 practitioners attended Independents Day (iDay23) in Birmingham on Monday (3 July) which had the theme The 4 P’s, Profitable Practice Post Pandemic. Over 50 per cent of the delegates were new and had not attended the one-day business conference last year.

Organiser Nick Atkins, Managing Director of Proven Track Record, said: “We were really pleased with the numbers this year which clearly showed this was an important topic. Some delegates had already gone private, and many were thinking of doing so and were looking to our speakers to just give them that final nudge of confidence.

“Looking at the pros and pitfalls of going private continues iDay’s long-standing ambition of helping independents to expand their clinical services to generate more revenue from the professional work they do.”

A highlight of the event was a discussion featuring leading practice owners Sophie Taylor-West, Anthony Josephson, Martin Smith, Keval Sejpar and Keyur Patel (pictured), who shared their own experiences of going private with the enthusiastic audience in a session chaired by Trevor Rowley.
