Great patient experience isn’t just good care, it’s good business too. Read on for our upcoming free webinar to show you how.​

​
Exceptional patient experience doesn’t have to mean expensive systems or complicated processes. ​

Often, it’s the small things communication, consistency, empathy and attention to detail that make the biggest difference.​

Join us for this free member only webinar exploring practical ways to improve patient experience in private practice, strengthen patient relationships and create a service people genuinely recommend to others.​

Hope the Bank Holiday weekend included as many treats as our recent Bristol business course with Celia Champion 🍪😂​

Alongside a packed day of business strategy, marketing, finance and leadership discussions for private practice owners, there was also a very important question…​

How many cookies did our Chair Katie eat throughout the day? 👀​

The feedback below from our latest Business Essentials course might just surprise you…​

💼 “I would have thought the course to be most useful for new entrants to private practice but a colleague who has had a successful business for many years recommended it to me so I booked on. I found the course inspirational and very valuable.”​

Whether you’re just starting out in private practice or have been running a successful clinic for years, taking time to work on your business not just in it can make a huge difference.​

Our Business Essentials course is designed for physiotherapists at every stage of the private practice journey, helping clinic owners better understand their numbers, think more strategically and gain fresh perspectives from fellow business owners.​

The networking, practical actions and real-world business focus continue to make this one of our most valued courses for clinic owners.​

This National Epilepsy Week, we’re raising awareness of how rehabilitation and movement can support people living with epilepsy💜​

Physiotherapy can play an important role in improving balance, confidence, strength, mobility, and recovery after seizures, helping individuals stay active, independent, and safe in everyday life.​

Around 1 in 100 people in the UK live with epilepsy, yet misconceptions remain. Greater understanding and supportive care can make a real difference.​

Looking for support? Find a local private physiotherapist through our Find a Physio directory: https://www.physiofirst.org.uk/find-physio.html

Nobody trains to become a physiotherapist expecting to spend time chasing unpaid invoices. We’ve all been there at some point!​

But for clinic owners, bad debt is a very real part of running a business.​

That’s why benefits like Physio First’s debt recovery support matter.​

Member Paul Gibson shares how valuable the service was for his clinic, helping recover outstanding payments while saving time, stress and awkward conversations: https://www.physiofirst.org.uk/benefits/debt-collection-support.html

One of those member benefits you hope you never need but are very glad to have when you do.​
