Effective practice management doesn’t just take care of itself. It requires constant work. Practice leaders should regularly review the health of their firm, the quality of its work and look for ways to improve. To give practitioners a baseline, LPLC has developed a free online, self-assessment tool to help them take the pulse of their firm.
How does the Practice Health Check work?
The LPLC Practice Health Check is a free, online self-assessment tool designed to help practitioners take a structured look at key aspects of practice management and identify areas for improvement. The tool only takes around 10 minutes to complete. It asks a short series of targeted questions and generates a written guide tailored to your responses, highlighting priority areas and linking to practical resources. The Practice Health Check is obligation free and anonymous.
What does the Practice Health Check cover?
The Practice Health Check focuses on the core elements of effective practice management, including:
- Business planning – setting clear direction for the firm
- Management responsibilities – understanding the principal’s role in:
- improving systems
- managing and supporting people
