Firstly if you are backing the letter that has been produced by our legal teams then please let Max and the team know you would like your name and practice also on the letter. That letter is a few posts above this one. Email him at [email protected]

Here's another update from thephysiosvoice.co.uk blog

Hot off the press:

Well after much hard work from our CSP liaison (Claire Small from Pure Sports Medicine) she has managed to persuade CSP CEO Phil Gray to instruct his lawyers (Hempsons) to write to BUPA raising the issues we have been banging on about all week: namely, the conflict of interest angle (BUPA and BUPA wellness), the FSA angle and BUPA’s initial aim of significantly reducing the number of physios they register. We have seen site of the CSP’s letter and while it isn’t as beefy as we would like, it is certainly better than no letter at all. Please tell all your physio colleagues not to give up hope....even the CSP seem to be coming on side now.

However, please do not be lulled into a false sense of security at this stage. We will certainly not be taking our foot off the gas and we are under no illusion that the legal angles do not provide a silver bullet solution. We will keep battling for our twin aims of clinical independence and commercial autonomy. We will be sending a further letter on the FSA points tomorrow.

If you haven’t already done so, please don’t forget to write to BUPA yourself and make sure you send your letter to Jane Gallagher as well as BUPA’s physio tender email address. Our lawyers letter appears in full on the website if you want some pointers (www.thephysiosvoice.co.uk).

Best to all,

Max
