About this episode

A different type of insurance - Clinical Wills with Anna Bunch

Welcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. I am thrilled to be here today with my friend and colleague, Anna Bunch, from Psych VA. You might remember Anna, she's been on the podcast before talking to us about the systems and processes that we need to have in place for our independent practices. But for this season, which is all about resilience and adaptability, I just had to get Anna back on to talk about something which I know that she's really passionate about, but to be honest, wasn't at the top of my list when I started in an independent practice. And that is this concept of a clinical will, which is not the right term for it, and we're going to talk about why, but that plan that needs to be in place for if you are incapacitated and can't run your practice anymore. It's a really important area, it's one that I've avoided for the eight years I've been in independent practice, and I'm sure that many of you will also have avoided, but Anna has absolutely convinced me that it's important and something that we all need to address.
