Support your GPs to be well, effective and stay.
GP retention is one of the most pressing workforce challenges facing primary care. The pressures are well documented: a rrising workload, administrative burden, regulatory demands, and a culture that rarely creates space for GPs to reflect on what they need.
Coaching is one of the most effective interventions available. Not because it fixes the system, but because it helps GPs understand themselves well enough to navigate it, and to keep going without losing themselves in the process.
Juliette Kumar is a GP coach with over 30 years in healthcare as a nurse, manager and strategic leader. She works with GPs at every stage of their career, from newly qualified doctors finding their footing to experienced partners carrying roles that have grown well beyond the medicine.
Investing in your GPs.
-
A structured six session programme designed for GP cohorts within your organisation.
Each session runs for 90 minutes and is facilitated by Juliette. Sessions can be delivered online or in person.
The programme creates a confidential, reflective space where GPs can talk honestly about what they are experiencing, and begin to understand what needs to change. The group structure offers opportunity for peer support in between sessions.
**Programme structure:**
- 6 x 90-minute group coaching sessions
- Closed cohort of 6 to 8 GPs
- Between-session reflection resources for participants
- Group messaging channel for between-session support
- Anonymised outcomes summary report for the commissioning organisation
**Investment: from £4,500 plus VAT**(Final fee depends on cohort size, format and location. Includes scoping, contracting, delivery, between-session support and an outcomes summary report.)
-
Where a GP would benefit from individual rather than group coaching.
Juliette offers one to one coaching programmes that can be commissioned and funded organisationally.
Packages range from 3 to 10 sessions. Contracting is done via the commissioner, the GP and Juliette.
Investment: from £750 plus VAT per individual
(Based on a 3 session programme. Organisational rates reflect contracting, reporting and liaison time. A full schedule of fees is available on request.)
-
Designed for GPs who are showing early signs of burnout, or who have recently returned from a period of sickness absence and need sustained support to rebuild. This is a focused, evidence-informed programme that goes beyond general coaching to address the specific patterns that drive burnout in clinical roles.
**Programme structure:**
- 8 x 60 minute one to one coaching sessions over four to five months
- Between-session support via WhatsApp
- Structured reflection resources at each stage
- MBTI personality assessment and debrief to build self-understanding
- Anonymised progress report at midpoint and close, with the GP's consent
**What the programme covers:**
- Understanding what is driving the exhaustion, not just the workload
- Identifying patterns of behaviour that are depleting rather than sustaining
- Building clarity about what the GP actually needs and wants
- Developing practical strategies that work within the realities of general practice
- Reconnecting with the reasons they came into medicine
**Investment: £2,200 plus VAT per individual** -
For GPs stepping into a senior partner, PCN, federation or ICB leadership role for the first time — or for established leaders who are navigating significant organisational change.
Leadership in general practice is rarely something GPs are prepared for. The clinical training does not cover the relational complexity, the management burden, or the identity shift that comes with the role.
**Programme structure:**
- 6 x 60-minute one-to-one coaching sessions over three to four months
- Between-session support via WhatsApp
- 360-degree feedback from colleagues, gathered and debriefed by Juliette
- Structured reflection resources throughout
- Anonymised progress report at close, with the GP's consent
**What the programme covers:**
- Understanding their leadership style and how others experience them
- Managing the shift from clinical peer to leader
- Navigating difficult conversations and relationships
- Finding a sustainable way to hold the role without losing themselves
- Building confidence to lead with authenticity
**Investment: £2,000 plus VAT per individual**
