E292 That Great Business Show - Why Good Businesses Fail (And How to Fix Them Before They Do) - Rachel Bothwell, GP Practice Ally
That Great Business ShowShow Notes
What keeps a GP practice running? Not just doctors. Not just nurses.
It's the same for any business. Cashflow. Systems. People who actually make it all work.
On Episode 292 of That Great Business Show, Conall Ó Móráin speaks with Rachel Bothwell, founder of GP Practice Ally — a business now supporting up to 75% of GP practices in Ireland.
This is a story about stepping in when everything could have fallen apart — and building something that became essential infrastructure. Find out: How one small Irish company became critical to GP practices nationwide What actually breaks inside a GP business (and how to fix it) Why cashflow — not medicine — is often the biggest risk What every SME can learn from running a “mission-critical” business
This is real business — messy, essential, and closer to home than you think.
