In this episode, we shift the conversation from financial reflection to strategic foresight. Most GP practices "manage" month to month—but too few pause to map what's ahead. Forecasting isn't just spreadsheets and formulas—it's leadership in action.

James walks through:

• What forecasting actually means in general practice

• Why most practices avoid it (and what that costs)

• What good forecasting looks like—without the jargon

• Real stories from practices who got stuck or got clear

• A simple framework for building your own forecast

• Questions that unlock forward-looking conversations

• Tips for making forecasting part of your practice rhythm

Whether you're facing partner retirements, drawings drift, income volatility, or growth decisions—this episode gives you the tools to prepare with confidence, not react in panic.

🎧 Ideal for Practice Managers, GP Partners, and anyone ready to swap stress for strategy in General Practice.
