Event Speakers & Trainers

Mr Matt Perkins
Mr Matt Perkins
Business Manager

Matt is Business Manager at Coastal Medical Partnership, a merged practice of 33,000 patients in the New Forest Area split over 4 sites in the New Milton and Lymington area.

Matt has been a Practice Manager for 16 years, coming from an unrelated business background. He therefore remembers what it is like to start in this role with no NHS experience, so well placed to help any new PMs who might be in that position. The only way Matt has survived in his role is due to the excellent network of Practice Managers that there are in Wessex. It is easy to feel isolated in this job due to the unique challenges PMs face, so it is always encouraging and helpful for Matt to talk and learn from colleagues in other practices on a daily basis. If there is an area of Matt's role he enjoys the most, it would be the operational / financial side, but am happy to listen and help in any way he can.
