Clinic Revenue FAQs
How much revenue should my clinic be generating?
UK clinic revenue varies widely based on size and services. Solo practitioners typically generate £60-150k, while multi-practitioner clinics range from £200k-500k+. More important than total revenue is your net profit margin (target 20-35%) and revenue per clinician.
What is a healthy profit margin for a UK clinic?
Well-run UK clinics should target 20-35% net profit margin. If you are below 20%, examine your pricing, utilisation rates, and overhead costs. Common profit killers include underpricing, low rebooking rates, and excessive marketing spend.
How do I increase revenue without working more hours?
Focus on: 1) Raising prices (most clinics undercharge), 2) Improving rebooking rates (target 90%+), 3) Adding associates to treat more patients, 4) Introducing higher-value services or packages, 5) Reducing no-shows (target under 6%). Revenue growth should not require more of your time.
When should I raise my clinic prices?
Review prices annually at minimum. Raise them if: you are fully booked 3+ weeks out, your rebooking rate exceeds 85%, you have added skills or equipment, or costs have increased. Most clinic owners wait too long to raise prices.
How do I know if my pricing is right?
Key indicators: Are you fully booked? What is your rebooking rate? Are patients questioning price or value? Do a calculation: if raising prices 10% loses you 10% of patients, you earn the same revenue in less time. Most clinics can raise prices without losing patients.
What KPIs should I track for clinic revenue?
Essential KPIs: 1) Revenue per clinician, 2) Diary utilisation (target 72%+), 3) Rebooking rate (target 90%+), 4) Average transaction value, 5) Cost to acquire a patient (median £25), 6) DNA/no-show rate (target under 6%).
