In Conversation with Dr Mateen Ellahi, Part One

Part one - The Rise of Portfolio Careers

A three-part episode with an entrepreneurial young GP Partner, Dr Mateen Ellahi. First, we discuss how he balances his NHS and private work and what a portfolio career gives him in terms of balance and job satisfaction. We then move on to his practice and how they’ve become one of the highest rated GP Practices in the country on Google. Part three covers Dr Ellahi’s venturing into GP Consultancy, offering his experience and insight to practices who are struggling, much in the way that management consultants exist but from a specific General Practitioner viewpoint.
