Dr Ben Sinclair, Founder of Dr Finlay’s Private Practice, has a wealth of experience treating patients who sometimes put their wealth before their health.
“Many highly motivated executives who work punishing hours become successful, but often they achieve this at the expense of sacrificing their health,” he says.
Because of his track record and expertise in supporting business leaders, Dr Ben was invited to contribute to a report on this topic by the Sunday Times newspaper.
The paper’s annual ‘Rich List’ report is required reading by millions of people around the world, not just in the UK.
Dr Ben and his team work closely with members of the business community. He firmly believes that health is the fundamental underpinning asset for any successful business.
He says: “In these pressured times, many high-net-worth individuals struggle to get their medical-support needs met through the NHS’s services, so we tailored a bespoke plan for them.
“We help businesses to look after their staff and also work with directors to ensure that they ‘enjoy the ride, maintain good health, and arrive alive’ – to enjoy the fruits of their labour when they retire.”
Dr Finlay’s service: ‘exemplary’ and ‘outstanding’
Dr Sinclair, who creates tailored personal medical services for many high-profile business leaders, told the Sunday Times, “They are not only motivated by money. They are driven by interest, curiosity, creativity, restlessness, stimulation and being their own boss.
“They are competing with themselves, rather than against others. Look at all the physical challenges [Richard] Branson has done, like ballooning or kitesurfing across the Channel.”
Dr Sinclair and his private healthcare service ‘Dr Finlay’s Private Practice’ were recently named Business of the Year at Birmingham’s prestigious Phoenix Business Club Awards.
Phoenix Awards Chief Judge Zoe Bennett, herself an award-winning speaker, Founder of the Multicultural Business and Community Champion Awards, and business owner, said: “The pandemic has made us appreciate our medical professionals even more.
“The service Dr Finlay’s provides is exemplary and that’s what it’s all about. It’s phenomenal what they have done, outstanding. I know as a business owner with two limited companies, that we always say we’ll look after ourselves, but we don’t.
“We’re too ‘in the grid’ and too busy. It’s really important to strike a balance to make a time to see your doctor for regular check-ups. Once you have that stroke or heart attack, it’s sometimes too late. Prevention is better than cure.
