Talking General Practice · GP Money Matters: GP career trends and financial planning · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

96% of doctors rated their specialist financial advisor as very good or excellent, reflecting a focused service that helps doctors protect their income, grow wealth, and plan ahead with confidence. voice-verified

Remember the value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get less back than you invest. voice-verified

I'm really pleased to be joined again on the podcast by Wendy Bailey from Wesleyan, who is a chartered financial planner and a fellow of the Personal Finance Society and a regional manager with Wesleyan, looking after all of Wesleyan's advisers across Scotland and Northern Ireland in their medical division. voice-verified

Wesleyan provides financial advice to GPs and other doctors, and Wendy's here today to talk about some research they did recently into GP career trends and financial attitudes. voice-verified

Thank you for coming to speak to me again, Wendy. voice-verified

It's really good to have you back. voice-verified

It's great to be here, Emma. voice-verified

Hello, everybody. voice-verified

So, first of all, what prompted Wesleyan to carry out this research into GP career trends and financial attitudes? voice-verified

And do the results suggest there's been some shift or any change in how GPs are thinking about their careers and future plans? voice-verified

I see that as well from talking to people. voice-verified

There's definitely been an increase in portfolio working, hasn't there? voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

But the research suggests that many GPs are considering retiring earlier than the UK average age for retirement, the the age that most people would retire. voice-verified

Why do you think that is is it because of workload? voice-verified

Are changing career expectations influencing how people think about retirement? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

But there's still going to be a cohort of GPs who will want to retire early. voice-verified

And so what do they need to think about if they are planning for an earlier retirement? voice-verified

So women in that position is the best thing for them to do to get financial advice about that. voice-verified
