about sgp
Built for a gap nobody else was filling.
OUR STORY
Specialist practices were flying blind on referrals. Stuart had watched it happen across the healthcare market for years. Practices doing exceptional clinical work with no clear understanding of where their patients were coming from, which relationships were cooling, or where growth was being left on the table.
The data existed. Nobody was using it. SGP was built to change that. To take what was already sitting inside a practice, build a clear picture of the referral network, and give specialists the insight to make decisions on the one thing that keeps the doors open - consistent, growing referrals from the right people.

The People Driving Growth
Stuart Stephens
Founder & Managing Director
Stuart founded SGP after identifying a gap nobody in the healthcare market was addressing. Specialist practices had referral data sitting unused inside their own systems and no clear path to turning it into a growth strategy. He brings deep experience in healthcare business development, referral network analysis, and strategic consulting. Stuart personally leads every client engagement - from initial analysis through to strategy and ongoing relationship management. He speaks at industry conferences on referral intelligence and practice growth, and is currently writing a field guide for specialist practices navigating competitive referral markets.

She drives the collaborative thinking behind SGP's growth, champions excellence at every step, and is the quality control gate every deliverable passes through, so that what clients receive is always work the business is proud to put its name on.

HOW WE WORK
From data to decisions.
data
We start by pulling together your referral data from every available source. Practice systems, custom exports, historical records. A complete picture before analysis begins.
From data to decisions.
analysis
We run the data through our referral intelligence framework. Who's sending, who's stopped, where concentration risk sits, and where growth is being left behind.
strategy
The analysis becomes a practical growth plan. Prioritised by opportunity and built around your market, your specialty, and your team's capacity to act.
execution
We don't hand over a report and disappear. We work alongside your team to implement the strategy - in the field, at the referrer level, and over the long term.
