Salary and terms and conditions in private practice

[raafox]

First off, you are not getting paid enough for the MSK work, let alone the administration and organisational role.
The main question I would like to know the answer to is how much do you charge for an inital consultation and how much for a follow up treatment. From there I would suggest thinking of a percentage of that figure to work out your hourly wage. Figures I have been quoted by colleagues have been around the 40-50% mark for a basic member of staff. However with this extended role you are performing and possibly developing further that figure may need to be a little higher.
The way I always approach pay negotiations is to look at how much money I make the company either directly through physio treatment or in savings by them not requiring a receptionist or admin staff. This is very difficult for a boss to deny when you have cold hard figures backing up your argument.

Thanks raafox
An initial consultation is £42 and follow up is £35. I hadnt considered the savings they make on not having to employ a receptionist!

So if you are working approx 24 hours from the times you listed and are fully booked with patients during these times then that is around the figure of 1500 pounds, from which you are paid approx 230 pounds (minus tax etc), lets say the receptionist is on the same money as you, that means an extra 230 in the boss's pocket taking their weekly earnings to 1250. You on the other hand are only taking 12-15%. Another way to approach payment is by being paid per patient, downsides are when you are not busy you don't get paid but plus side when you are busy you make very good money. I am 13 years qulaified and when I locumed i was earning about 26-27 pounds an hour in London and surrounding areas, so I would put togehter some figures speak to the boss and if you don't get a good deal try wokring somewhere else. Good luck
