No of patients treated per day

I agree with Alophysio, You cannot really set a number. In my organization the administration expects us to see upto 24 patients within our 8 hours work shift... meaning 3 patients per hour. Ofcoarse, clinically it is not so, I see about 7 to 14 patients a day. treatment time varies greatly, if it is an exercise patient, then i give them an hour session... where as a patient requiring electrotherapy as well as exercise therapy gets 30 minutes a session.
But then again, here poeple never stick to their appointment timings so i always end up hopping around like a bunny rabbit...

here in my country, majority physio suffer with overload working load... 1 physio treated >20 outpt per day and beside dat some of them also need to treated inpatient. Am one of them... i treated >21 outpt and >10 inpt... i cannot imagine how the hospital with 250 beds only have 2 physios to covered out/in patient...

Well thanx all 4 the informn.
I see about 30-35 patients per day,that includes 5 new cases..
i treat a patient for 15- 20mins,that includes manual therapy,exes or stretching.then the patients stay 4 electrotherapy,tracn etc which takes another 30-40 mins.
But it all depends on the type of cases u treat.90% of the patients treated by me have Musculosk Disorders.Neuro patients certainly require more time.

I very well Agree with arkeshphysio that it depends a lot on the type of cases we deal with whether orthopaedic or neurological.. probably it takes up more time with neuro pateints.. and further time is directly proportonal to the condition and type of patient..
Thanks..
