Celebrating Payroll Week: Reflecting on Our Journey and Launching New Support for Practices

Posted by: gaia - Posted on:

This Payroll Week (1 – 5 September 2025), we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come at PCD and how we’re helping other organisations do the same.

Just last year, we achieved a milestone by bringing payroll in-house for the first time. Since then, our Finance and Payroll Manager, Lucy Barker, has continued to lead the way – processing payroll for more than 180 employees every month with accuracy, efficiency, and dedication. From tax codes to pension contributions, parental leave to benefits, Lucy ensures our people are paid on time and in line with legislation – because happy employees start with a payroll process they can trust.

But this year marks an even bigger step forward. We’re proud to have launched our Finance Services, built specifically to support GP practices and other organisations with the often-complex world of finance. Payroll is at the heart of this. We know from our own experience that managing payroll isn’t just about paying salaries – it’s about compliance, employee wellbeing, and creating the financial stability that allows practices to focus on patient care.

Our Finance Services can help practices:

✅ Streamline payroll processes and stay compliant with HMRC requirements
✅ Implement smarter, cloud-based finance systems
✅ Build resilience with smarter budgeting and financial planning
✅ Access hands-on support from experts who understand the unique challenges of healthcare finance

To celebrate Payroll Week and the launch of our new service, we’re also offering a FREE Financial Health Check, helping you review your current systems, identify inefficiencies, and unlock practical strategies for building financial resilience.

Payroll is where it all begins, but it’s just one part of the bigger financial picture. By sharing our own journey and the lessons we’ve learned, we’re excited to help other practices strengthen theirs.
