September is a time for new beginnings – it’s almost like a new year. 

Whether you have kids who are going back to school this week or not, we all got used to those academic rhythms whilst we were at school or university. That means September is a good time for all of us to start new things and refocus. 

As a nod to this idea of new beginnings, I want to offer all PPH therapists the chance to get their business listed on our sister site, UK Therapy Hub, for only £12 for the whole year. This amazing offer, only available to PPH members, gives you a discount of more than 50% and means your business will be listed on one of the biggest therapy directories in the UK for the next 12 months. To take advantage of this offer, click here, add promotional code pphmember and sign up today. 

As I’m on a bit of a roll with new beginnings, we’re launching a new site to support therapists and their marketing. It’s called Practitioner Marketing Hub and I’ll be telling you more about it over the next few weeks, but in short, it’ll be a no jargon guide to marketing your practice. Practitioner Marketing Hub will help you to kick start your September new beginnings.

GDPR Compliance
As a therapist, you know how important it is to keep your client’s sensitive information private. This includes personal details, treatment records and information about medication. With the introduction of new data protection rules under GDPR, the pressure to make sure the communication of this data is secure is now even more crucial. Your practice needs to demonstrate that it’s taking the necessary steps to protect sensitive information, particularly when it’s shared.

We’ve joined forces with Egress to help you achieve GDPR compliance easily. Egress provides a simple and easy-to-use way to encrypt emails and attachments. It fully integrates with Outlook and Gmail, and allows therapists to send patient information securely from their normal email systems. Egress are partnering with Private Practice Hub and have offered 15% off their services. Email them now  online@egress.com for more information.
