I have found your podcasts interesting and informative on financial aspects of our working lives that we were not taught about. I agree with you, Financial Health should be on the medical school curriculum. The reason I have given it four starts is indirectly linked with the podcast. The advisor recommended via your site has called me once and since receiving the information from NHS pensions agency (which took a few weeks because this is how long it takes to get the paperwork these days) has not replied any of my emails or returned calls. I am obviously disappointed. Could you please ask the financial advisers who agree to be contacted to be committed to the process. Thank you for your time and energy.

Massive thank you to Tommy and Ed for all that they do to help empower their fellow medics, especially those like myself who just wouldn't have had a clue where to start to sort out their finances. I found the podcasts a great first step to give me ideas for things that I could then later look at more closely - and how amazing that the team have put together so many resources that then make these subsequent steps way easier! I can't recommend Medics Money highly enough :-)

I have found Medics Money to be very helpful in identifying suitable medical accountancy firms who can provide expert information on my complex financial needs. The website is easy to navigate and has lots of useful information which instils confidence. I was contacted very promptly by one of the recommended firms who gave me some important advice on NHS Pensions. I am still waiting to hear from the accountants but I understand that this is a very busy period for them with lots of interest from doctors based on the new pension rules. Tom contacted me early on to ensure I was happy with the service provided which was reassuring and indicates how serious he is in helping medics to better their financial situation. Thanks for setting up your website. I really appreciate it.

He has provided sound advice about my NHS Pension on several occasions - with the advice being given with rapid turnaround and great flexibility - he has always proven to be easily available and responsive to my often panicked requests for help - his explanations clear the opaqueness that the pension scheme is to me!

Darren and his team at Dental and Medical Financial Services provided us with an excellent service. During a tumultuous time for the mortgage market, they secured us one of the few remaining mortgages with an affordable interest rate for our house purchase.

Darren has been well informed, knows the complexities of work (I work in various roles as a GP) and offered tailor made advice which instantly appeared to make a lot more financial sense to my situation, so much so, that I'm planning to ditch my existing accounting firm (one of the leading medical accounting firms) for their ill informed advice given hitherto. Looking forward to work with Darren and his team looking to maximise on tax savings & limited company opportunities.

"Darren @ Dental & Medical has been invaluable in helping me make strategic financial decisions not just on pensions but all aspects of financial planning, life and critical illness cover and investment planning. He has made personal recommendations for specialist info on the McCloud remedy and IHTax and called to follow through afterwards. More importantly, he has been so patient in explaining the basics. No question has been too simple for him to answer. I have a clearer understanding of my finances than I have ever had in the last 20 years. I feel empowered and liberated ... now the work begins to secure my future more strategically and knowledgeably. So get your head out of the sand and act! Thank you so much Darren @ Dental & Medical Financial Services. Adj "

Kelvin

Darren and his team have helped me with my total financial package for 20 years, guiding me throughout the various financial challenges of my Hospital Consultant career. His advice to me has ranged from life insurance to mortgage, pension planning (and now execution of those plans) as wells day to day advice over my financial queries such as annual allowance pension contribution charge calculation and planning. His advice is always timely, well thought out, delivered with care and with my individual factors taken into account. He always plans for maximum tax efficiency and forward planning, and is invariably bang up to date with the rapidly changing tax environment. I have recommended him to many colleagues over the years (he came through personal recommendation to me) and would not hesitate to do the same for a Medical Practitioner of any description at any stage of their career.

What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a financial adviser? Not having enough time or the expertise of wealth management. How did Darren Scott-Guinness help you? Very comprehensive, professional and reliable advice from the beginning. Always approachable. Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for? Yes. What could they have done better? Improve the website and compete with well known wealth management platforms.

My husband and I were completely clueless when it came to finances – as many of us in the medical field know, financial education is something we’re not taught in medical school. Thankfully, Darren came to our rescue. He conducted a comprehensive financial review for us, bringing his wealth of knowledge, experience, and advice to the table. Darren helped us navigate the often confusing world of protection needs, including setting up income protection and life insurance, and even helped us secure our first-time buyer mortgage. What sets Darren apart is his deep understanding of the NHS – particularly sick leave and pension entitlements – which makes him uniquely qualified to advise medics. His professionalism, experience, and expertise are second to none. Darren is incredibly patient, warm, and honest, which made us feel immediately at ease. His authenticity and straightforward approach helped us build trust quickly, something we deeply appreciated. We’d also like to highlight the support from Labhu, Darren’s client support executive. She was diligent, hard-working, and very thorough throughout the entire process. Labhu ensured all of our applications were completed accurately, removing much of the stress and helping everything run smoothly. We are truly grateful for both Darren and Labhu’s hard work, and we can’t recommend them highly enough to fellow medics. Their service is professional, trustworthy, and exactly what we needed.
