The art of negotiation - driving profit through procurement (LVS25)

Whether you’re running a single-site clinic or managing multiple locations, your profitability often comes down to what you spend, and how well you negotiate. This session takes a practical look at the power of procurement - how smarter purchasing, supplier negotiation, and inventory control can protect your margins, boost profitability, and reduce financial stress. By the end, you’ll have a better understanding of how smart procurement and skilful negotiation directly support business resilience, cash flow, and long-term value when planning for future growth, sale, or investment.
