1 How much of what a bank manager is expected to do is already part of a medical practice manager’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the bank manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A bank manager role treats 12 of its required skills as things a medical practice manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • align efforts towards business development
  • analyse business plans
  • analyse business processes
  • analyse financial risk
  • assume responsibility for the management of a business
  • business management principles

What stands in the way is 19 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bank manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a medical practice manager background worth leading with.

Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
