Healthcare • Issue 4 1 WELCOME Welcome to our first edition of Westpac's Industry Focus: Healthcare for 2014. This edition looks at some of the more involved elements of the business of healthcare, how the advisory industry is aiding healthcare, and the assistance available to you when taking important steps to build real value into your healthcare business. A critical element of this is recognising that high-level professional advice is available to all business owners, not just corporates. Building capital value into your business is a result of structure, planning and advice. Westpac Healthcare aims to bring these elements together and support your business goals, which is important when you're looking to build personal wealth alongside business value. Some of our discussions revolve around patient experience, the Privacy Act, and mergers and acquisitions (principles applicable to buying small businesses as well as large corporates). We also have some timely commentary on leasing negotiations for our pharmacy audience. We are especially pleased to include an interview with one of our customers, David Manuel. We hope you find this edition useful and informative. You can use the topics as the basis for a conversation with Westpac Healthcare about your business' development and how the larger business community can contribute to your plans. Do not hesitate to contact your Westpac Healthcare banking specialist to discuss any of these matters or, just as importantly, to be introduced to someone who can assist you.
