After all, only 25 votes on the 'who did and who didn't poll' on this site is hardly a substantive reflection, unlike the one on 'The Physios Voice', which basically shows a one third/two third split in favour of not tendering.

How this all will reflect across the Country remains to be seen, as does how BUPA will react, but I am beginning to sense that those contributing here are mostly 'inner City' and, as such, not a reasonable representation of Country wide opinion.
It is very difficult to gauge what went on in Scotland.
I didn't tender and know of one other practice that didn't. I know of 2 sole practitioners who did. I'm on a course next week and will maybe hear more there.
I agree that it's gone very quiet but I guess it is a waiting game and only time will tell how many physios took part in the process.
I think most of us have had a big wake up call and need to get ourselves more organised and find a stronger voice for physios in private practice. I actually feel very depressed by Physiofirst and CSP. In my darker moments I was wondering if I could possibly re name myself a Rehabilitation Therapist. In this way I save myself 2 lots of annual fees and scores of paper work. I can just get on with the job of being a good therapist which is all I really want to be.
