GPPA Practice Leadership Summit 2025
Join us for two days of practical learning, fresh thinking & real-world tools to help you lead with confidence, improve efficiency & strengthen your practice for the future.
This year’s theme – The Healthy GP Practice – is all about giving you the clarity, strategies & support to build a practice that works for you.
Through expert talks, hands-on workshops & honest conversations, we’ll focus on three key pillars:
-
Smarter Systems: streamline operations & reduce overwhelm
-
Stronger Finances: boost income, plan ahead & make confident decisions
-
Empowered Teams: develop your team, grow future leaders & build a culture that lasts
Whether you’re looking to refine your systems, strengthen your team or plan for long-term sustainability, this summit is for you!
You’ll also have the chance to connect with peers who understand the pressures & possibilities of practice life. There’ll be time to share ideas, take inspiration & return with renewed momentum.
While the summit is shaped with practice managers & GPs in mind, it’s also a brilliant opportunity to bring someone from your team – a deputy, future leader or day-to-day organiser – for shared learning & fresh ideas.
On Friday evening, we’ll come together for a three-course dinner – a brilliant opportunity to continue the conversation, strengthen connections & enjoy great company, with a live band to carry the energy into the night.
Make the most of the experience – get your full weekend ticket to enjoy both days of learning, attend all three core workshops, and be part of Friday’s dinner, music & connection.
