seeing private patients in the community/at home

Hi there,

I just wanted your opinions really.....

I have been qualified a year and a half and i currently work on the bank and locuming.
I was thinking of advertsing as a private physio one day a week to start with just to see how it goes.
I was thinking i could do this within my local community so i go to the patient or they could come to me in my own home.

I know i have'nt been qualified long at all. I tend to work very hands on with lots of massage and trigger point work. I also have a few courses lined up this year so i can keep my MSK core skills and CPD up to date. I am CSP and HSP registered.

I am only thinking of local work around my area mainly through word of mouth so most likely people i will know.

Any advice/thoughts would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
sarah

Just saw your post and was wondering if you'd got anywhere with your idea as I'm thinking about the same thing at the moment. I've been qualified for 7 years and working for the same NHS trust for that time. Would really like to get into doing some private work. Have 4 years community experience but don't really know how to go about doing that privately. Anyway be interested to know if you've found much out. Thanks!
