With only two months left of 2018, the end of the year is nearly here. I like to reflect on what’s been happening this year at Private Practice Hub and it’s been a good one so far.

We’ve made some great improvements this year and we’ve got many more in the pipeline.

The first to note is that we’re launching a fantastic new resource to help you with your marketing - Practitioner Marketing Hub. It’s a dedicated therapy marketing website with loads of resources for you to utilise to improve how you market your practice. In addition to all the resources, there are a number of professional marketers who can help you with specific areas of your marketing if you’re looking to outsource.

The brilliant new Practitioner Marketing Hub will be available through the Private Practice Hub website and is due to be launched in the New Year. Make sure you take a look and see how you can improve your practice marketing in the last couple of months of 2018.

In addition to the new Practitioner Marketing Hub, don’t forget to read our blog. There are some really interesting blog posts on there, including this one on working with Children and Animals, written by Adam May.

Extra Help In Your Practice
We’ve all had moments when we’ve been glad of help. Most health practitioners are grateful of support to answer the phone during client consultations or when they need to take time off for a well-earned break.

So we can offer you a little help, we’ve partnered with Real Time Reception – the virtual receptionist service for health professionals by health professionals.

Established by a former chiropractor and podiatrist, their friendly and supportive team can answer calls, deal with queries and book appointments straight into your diary. They can provide everything from temporary to full time cover, at a low cost that has made a significant difference to the success and work/life balance of many in our sector.

Make sure you never miss another booking or the opportunity to take a break. Visit their website or call 0800 193 0121 for a chat.

Slowing Down This Christmas?
Christmas is a magical time of the year, particularly for those who have small children. Whilst it’s magical, it’s also expensive, and most of us see client numbers plummeting. This is normally because their money is being spent on other things and not their health and well-being.

But the good news is that Christmas doesn’t have to be your quietest time.

This on-demand interactive video course has been created by million-dollar practice owner and TV psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael. If you want to attract, book, and retain private paying clients, join Dr. Chloe's interactive video course today.

Healthcare Data Breaches On The Rise
It’s no surprise that the introduction of GDPR has seen a rise in the number of reported data breaches. Trends published by the ICO show that the healthcare sector contributed the largest number of data breaches within Q1 of 2018 with 22% of all reported breaches. These figures demonstrate how important it is for healthcare organisations to use technology to prevent data breaches.

Egress Email and File Protection not only encrypts emails and attachments but also lets you revoke access to an email if its sent to the wrong person.

They’re partnering with us to offer 15% off their services so email them at online@egress.com for more information.

Kind regards,
