Hi Graham.
Just searched for "Private Physiotherapy London" and got a number of hits.

Subject: physiotherapy home visits
Is anyone aware of cases where NHS physiotherapists work with private gym
instructors in post op. rehabilitation? My father has now had a hip
replacement (in the UK) and sent home 4 days post op. with a small booklet
of exercises and a six week assessment appointment. An acquaintance in
Belgium keeps his patients in hospital for 2-3 weeks of physiotherapy.
Since my fathers PCT doesn't fund home visits for post hip op. patients, he
would be prepared to pay to join a gym to gain training feedback. It seems a
logical step to transfer some information from his rehabilitation program to
a gym program. If NHS funds don't increase for physio. home visits, would
this half-way arrangement be detrimental to the quality of patient care? How
has this debate developed? What successes / problems have arisen?
Regards
Graham
