Show Notes
GP Money Matters is a series of special bonus episodes of Talking General Practice sponsored by Wesleyan where we look at key personal finance issues that affect GPs.
In this episode GPonline editor Emma Bower speaks to Wendy Baillie, a chartered financial planner and regional manager at Wesleyan Financial Services, about the rise of portfolio careers in general practice and what this means for GPs’ finances.
New research from Wesleyan reveals that holding multiple roles has become the norm, with over two-thirds of doctors having portfolio careers. Wendy explains the hidden complexities of juggling multiple roles, including the risk of unexpected tax bills, NHS pension headaches and the surprising hurdles GPs face when trying to secure a mortgage.
She also offers some practical guidance about to approach your finances holistically to avoid these pitfalls.
