    Yuck, worst of all worlds for me. Im currently working in private practice and for me the worst thing about it is the lack of exposure to other therapists. Especially as i graduated relatively recently, i think you have to be twice as on the ball with your reading etc to keep developing when i only have training with other therapists once weekly, as opposed to the constant discussion and advice you can get working in a large team in a hospital

    Re: Hospital or private practice?

    ... you might have overlooked that Melanie is 7 years post-graduate.

    At that stage you are a "fully grown" Physio and very capable of looking after yourself.

    Contrary to you, I have never worked so close in a team as in Community. Maybe it is due to the need of personal contact which the "forced" isolation causes. But I talk more and in more depth to my colleagues (including colleagues from other disciplines) than I ever did in hospital with 20 other Physios and a huge MDT around.

    Regards,
    Fyzzio
