QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE
“The association has really stepped back and thought private practice is really a significant entity within our profession, and we need to be able to develop the private practice because I think in the future, the private practice is going to be the main employer of any physio coming out.”
“You can be a good physio and be a poor business person as well.”
