Heritage Physiotherapy & Co are delighted to announce we are part of a national audit called the Physio First Data for Impact study. This project has been commissioned by Physio First (the trade organisation representing Chartered Physiotherapists in Private Practice in the UK) to enable private practitioners to quantify the effectiveness of the interventions they provide.

“The unique Physio First Quality Assured Practitioner (QAP) scheme enables physiotherapists to demonstrate what private physiotherapy can offer to patients, and how our skills, experience and treatment techniques can achieve the best outcome for every patient we assess and treat.” (PhysioFirst 2023)

Why are Heritage Physiotherapy & Co Participating in this research?

Heritage Physiotherapy & Co are dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for our patients. By using the data for impact study to statistically demonstrate the success of our rehabilitation interventions, we are helping to promote the effectiveness of our company as well as championing the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the private sector.

Please read the information from The University of Brighton below that explains more about this unique and important audit. If you have any questions, please email nikki@heritagephysiotherapyandco.com

What is Data For Impact and Quality Assured Practitioner Status?

Participating physiotherapists will ask their patients if they are happy for their treatment information (or data) to be included in the audit. To ensure compliance with GDPR regulation, we will only collect data that is necessary to perform the task. The University of Brighton is able to process personal data for the purposes of research, using ‘Public Interest’ as its legal basis for processing data.

Your physiotherapist will collect the information and enter it onto a password protected national database which is held by an independent organisation, the University of Brighton. Whilst your name will be visible to the practitioner on their system, your name will not be transferred across to the University. Instead, an automated code (with no identifying information) is created for each patient record.

How is the information used?

The University of Brighton bring together and analyse data from participating physiotherapy practices across the UK. The university send a summary report of the national data to Physio First, and this is also available to the physiotherapist. The national data may also be published in academic journals or presented at physiotherapy conferences, however, you will not be identifiable within it.

Can patients refuse to give this information?

Yes. If you don’t want information about your care to be used, you have the right to request that it isn’t. This will not affect the care and treatment you are given. If you have any questions or concerns about the information collected, please discuss this with your physiotherapist. If you are happy for your information (or data) to be included, please can you complete the attached consent form and hand it to your physiotherapist. If your treatment is being carried out remotely, for example via video link or telephone, your physiotherapist will send you this information sheet and a consent form electronically. In order to provide your consent, please complete and return the consent form electronically or respond to their email clearly stating that you have read the Patient Information Sheet and that you consent for your data to be used as part of the national audit.

How will this impact me as a patient?

All the questions that are used as part of the audit form part of Heritage Physiotherapy & Co’s initial assessment. Therefore, you will not be asked to fill out lengthy forms. With your permission we may contact you after discharge to document your improvement over an agreed period of time.

The Guardians of Your little ones Galaxy

As a parent you will agree that children are resilient, determined with boundless energy. They are also inquisitive, fearless and slightly accident prone at times! Exploration is important for a child’s development, but we understand that for parents, looking after a child that has experienced a traumatic injury is a worrying experience. Similarly, if your child is managing a chronic condition, we understand it is vital to you that your little superstar is living life to the full. All our appointments are generously times as we don’t want anyone to feel rushed. There is plenty of time to ask questions and practice exercises so that everyone is confident and happy.

The Side Kick (because every hero needs a trusted side kick)

Nikki, Our lead clinician uses a combination of role play, games and functional activities to help your child feel at ease, whilst gaining all the important information we need to provide the highest quality rehabilitation. Our aim is to make our patient and parents feel as comfortable as possible with all sessions available in the comfort of your own home, or in our fabulous clinic where our patients can enjoy playing in the beautiful grounds of the Harewell campus as part of the assessment.

Our lead clinician is a mother to two energetic boys and has a very real understanding of the anxiety parents face when their child is not at their best. We run a supportive, caring and approachable service so that everyone feels content and happy.

Our Pledge

At Heritage Physiotherapy & Co we provide a transparent, ethical, and conscientious service. We love to speak to our patients’ guardians before our appointment to make sure we are the best service for your child. If we are unable to help, or have any concerns, we will sign post you to the most appropriate service. Following your child’s treatment, we will also send you a concise report, so you have records of your child’s diagnosis and treatment play. We also frequently liaise with multidisciplinary teams such as the patients GP and SenCo if indicated and informed consent given.

We understand children may not always want to conduct their exercises, but at Heritage Physiotherapy & Co, we are master motivators and disguise our exercise programs in fun game play.

Don’t like superheroes? Perhaps your child is a little bit older? No problem! Please let us know your child’s favourite characters/interests, and we will develop an exceptional, evidence-based assessment to help them engage with the process.

What does ‘Home’ mean to you? At Heritage Physiotherapy & Co we recognize your home is such an important part of your world. You could be living in a house, flat or bungalow. A residential home or nursing home. You may live with a loved one, family, friends or independently. Regardless of your circumstances, everyone has the right to live a fulfilled and safe life in the place that means so much to them.

Our founder, Nikki, has had the privilege of working with patients in their homes and says “At Heritage Physiotherapy & Co, we believe there is no greater honour than working with our patients in their own home. Gaining a true insight into your challenges and goals enables us to give the highest quality of care specific to your needs.”

Our friendly, reliable, and conscientious home service is based on 3 key beliefs.

1. Enable

Heritage Physiotherapy & Co have a wealth of knowledge that is skilfully used to assess and provide the optimal level of support. We do not want to make our patients reliant on us, instead we aim to enable them to thrive and live as independently as possible. We want to assist you and give you the confidence to live your life, your way. Our tailored exercise programs optimize function and promote independence. We work with patients with varying levels of mobility and use a paced and progressive exercise approach to enable our patients to meet their goals.

2. Enhance

Would you like to do more? We believe there are no limits when we work as a team. With your consent we work with relatives, companions and caregivers so that together we can help you achieve your goals. At Heritage Physiotherapy & Co we pride ourselves on being an advocate for our patient’s wellbeing, giving you a greater level of care with generous appointment times and a physiotherapist that goes the extra mile for you. Our home service is more than an exercise program, it is a highly trained chartered physiotherapist working tirelessly to promote your wellbeing.

3. Enrich

What makes you happy? Spending time with family? Gardening? Walking with friends? Playing a sport? Or perhaps having the freedom to choose!

Rehabilitation is not just about the fundamentals; it is about the things that make our lives worth living. Whatever your goal, we are here to help you achieve it. You may feel your goal is quite big and not easily achievable, but at Heritage Physiotherapy & Co we thrive on breaking down goals into achievable targets. We can join you at activities and events that are important to you and help you get the most out of life’s precious moments.

If you are willing to be consistent and committed to your goal, Heritage Physiotherapy & Co believe we can enable you to live an enhanced and enriched life, getting the most out of life in the most important place on earth. Home.

If we can help you or a loved one, please register your interest and we will get in touch.
