This episode is brought to you by Chris, Kim and Rif from Medicubes.About the MedicubesThe Medicubes team brings you a monthly panel conversation of exciting and challenging topics in primary health care, answering listener questions and invited guests to the discussions.About the EpisodeIn this episode of Medicubes, join Ben Ryan and Kelly Chard as they discuss the intricacies of payroll tax for GP clinics.They cover how payroll tax affects medical practices in Australia and the recent crackdown by revenue offices on non-compliant practices. Hear real-world cases highlighting the importance of properly classifying doctors to not run into payroll tax pain later down the line.Key Takeaways:Payroll tax is a state-based tax administered by each state's revenue office, not the ATO (Australian Taxation Office)Revenue offices are actively cracking down on medical practices that have been non-compliant with payroll tax regulations.Recent cases involving Optical Superstore and Thomas and Naaz have brought attention to the issue of properly classifying doctors and patients under the Payroll Tax Act.Medical practices need to consider payroll tax when dealing with doctors and patients and seek advice from experienced professionals.It is essential for medical practices to have conversations with knowledgeable professionals who specialise in both accounting and legal aspects of the medical industry.Updating bank accounts without considering the wider plan will not fix any existing payroll tax issues.Collaborating with legal advisors and experts is crucial to ensure operational changes align with legal advice.Understanding the business structure, evaluating day-to-day operations, and seeking professional advice are the first steps in managing payroll tax risks.Remember this episode is not professional advice in any way. Please seek your own accounting and legal advice taking into account your own unique circumstances.Check out more episodes from Medicubes:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/medicubes/id1635000183 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6H6hJ1lMo8Wt5OK2rzLFkZ?si=952a1830b9964869

During the holiday season, Pete and the team from Talking HealthTech are taking a well earned break, so while they're away, the hosts of various shows from within the Talking HealthTech Podcast Network are sharing some of their favourite episodes from their own podcasts!This episode is brought to you by Victoria from Digital Ecology.About Digital Ecology:The Digital Ecology podcast creates a window into the backstory of technology adoption in the UK’s healthcare system. Through interviews with experts in the field, we shine a light on the inner workings of digital health and uncover a world of complexity and challenge. We are in the foothills of technology adoption, where the hype doesn’t always match the reality.About This Episode:In the first of my second series of the Digital Ecology podcast I host a panel conversation about the role of simulation in healthcare professional training and how it applies to all stages of design, development and implementation of digital technologies in the NHS. I'm joined by James Woollard, a child psychiatrist and chief clinical information officer along with Wendy Chapman and Kit Huckvale from the University of Melbourne who run an immersive simulation space. We chat about the role of simulation in mitigating risk of harm when implementing digital health interventions and in working out unintended consequences of how a technology might work in practice. Simulation has a role in assessing complexity - taking into account the technology itself, environment, culture, people, process and how data works. We discuss real life examples of simulation in practice and the groundbreaking Validitron at the University of Melbourne - how it works with technology companies and researchers - bridging the gap between implementation and evidence generation. Simulating common scenarios can assist in exploring what could go wrong, reducing the cost of failure and improving uptake as well as the peripheral factors such as devices and connectivity.Check out more episodes from Digital Ecology:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/digital-ecology-podcast/id1613898368Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5pFf3xb6pk1alEM1dzP3RG
