thanks for the tips laura01....
have you tried to look for work overseas, particularly australia?! theres plenty of work in private practice and some locum jobs in the public system. I really do feel for you and your colleagues. It doesn't help when I hear the NHS blows their budget by more than 500 million pounds resulting in massive job cuts and you can't work in private practice with the insurance problems. In the next 5-10 years Australia will experience the same problem but mainly because so many more universities are offering physiotherapy as either an undergrad or postgrad degree. Hope you have some luck soon mate. Keep your chin up and don't give up!! Cheers
