Any chartered physiotherapist may accept private business from a self-referring patient, or on referral from any other professional.

There are a number of options available to you if you are considering private practice. Whichever one you choose, you will need to start by setting aside time for researching and planning your business venture.

There are legal, financial and insurance considerations, other additional personal responsibilities and an amount of initial administrative work to do.

Each setting has advantages and disadvantages that need considering before making your decision.

While some practitioners choose to see clients in a home setting, others decide to share practice space with other health practitioners, renting by the hour, or having a room within a clinic or a gym. Others will go into business for themselves, and may employ others.
