Cyra advises tracking professional expenses in a spreadsheet across the tax year (6 April–5 April) and applying online at year-end, noting HMRC may adjust your tax code. Eligible tax-relief items include GMC, Royal College and BMA fees (including exams but not revision courses), some recognized memberships, subsequent stethoscopes, plus a flat £80 NHS doctor work expense; question banks aren’t eligible. They contrast this with employer-funded study budgets (e.g., ALS), which generally aren’t tax-relievable. They also outline relocation expenses up to £10,000 across training, common caps, the need for pre-approval and evidence, tips on comparable mover quotes, and the importance of understanding excess mileage policies. 00:00 Welcome and Series Intro 00:51 Episode Focus Reimbursements 01:31 Meet Saira the Expert 02:10 Tax Relief Basics HMRC 04:00 What You Can Claim 05:16 Evidence and Flat Rate 06:12 Study Budget vs Tax Relief 07:42 Memberships from Med School 08:40 Relocation Expenses Explained 11:08 Relocation Application Pitfalls 13:06 Mover Quotes Pro Tip 14:25 Excess Mileage and Final Takeaways 15:59 Wrap Up and Next Episode This episode is sponsored by InvestEngine: Terms and Conditions apply.

Find a medical solicitor today: https://medicsmoney.co.uk/find-a-medical-solicitor/ Host Dr. Tommy Perkins is joined by Sarah Cook, a specialist medical solicitor from DR Solicitors, to unpack NHS England's recent consultation on the future of neighbourhood healthcare — a topic that could reshape how general practice is delivered. Key topics covered: The consultation at a glance — NHS England isn't asking whether neighbourhood healthcare is coming; it's asking who will deliver and control it. Two models are on the table: a Single Neighbourhood Provider (SNP) built on existing PCN footprints (~50,000 patients), and a Multi-Neighbourhood Provider (MNP) spanning multiple neighbourhoods (~250,000+ patients) that would coordinate a wide range of services across primary and community care. Three SNP delivery routes — (1) Vary the existing PCN DES (already in regulations since May), (2) Have the PCN hold a single neighbourhood contract directly, or (3) Let an MNP sweep up services and subcontract them — the option GPs should most want to avoid. Income & risk concerns — Dr. Perkins raises the fear that MNPs could strip away enhanced-service income (LESs, DESs) that practices rely on top of the frozen global sum. Sarah reassures that GMS/PMS contracts remain and PCN/ARRS funding is intended to be protected — but only if practices stay engaged and organised. The legal entity question — Any SNP contract must be held by a legal entity. Since PCNs aren't legal entities, many are incorporating as limited companies to gain limited liability, cleaner governance, and the ability to hold contracts and employ staff (with NHS pension access confirmed). Future of PCNs — PCNs are expected to evolve into neighbourhoods rather than disappear outright. A limited company structure gives practices future-proofing and flexibility for that transition. What practices should do now — Assess your current organisational model, consider whether a limited company makes sense, read the consultation, and get both legal and accounting advice. DR Solicitors offers a free initial consultation and has a webinar on their website.
