Important Notes — 2025/26 Rates & Caveats

UK private healthcare benchmarks 2025: GP appointment £90–150; physiotherapy initial assessment £60–100, follow-up £45–75; therapy (CBT/counselling) £60–100/session; aesthetics consultation £0 (free), treatment £150–600. A utilisation rate of 70–80% is typically sustainable — rates above 85% risk practitioner burnout and leave no capacity for new patient onboarding or admin. Effective hourly rate should be calculated on total hours including admin, not just appointment hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What utilisation rate should a private practice target?

70–80% is typically sustainable — 85%+ risks burnout and limits new patient capacity. Practices that run at very high utilisation often find cancellations and did-not-attends (DNAs) create unpredictable revenue. Targeting 75% with a DNA/cancellation policy provides a more predictable income while protecting practitioner wellbeing.

How do I calculate my hourly effective rate?

Total annual revenue ÷ total hours worked (including admin, not just appointment hours). For example, if you earn £60,000/year from appointments over 40 clinical weeks at 5 hours/day plus 2 hours admin, your total hours are 40 × 35 = 1,400. Effective rate = £60,000 ÷ 1,400 = £42.86/hour — very different from the £80/hour appointment rate.

What is the average appointment value for a UK physiotherapist?

Initial assessment: £70–100; follow-up session: £50–80 in 2025/26. London rates are typically 20–30% higher than regional equivalents. Specialist physiotherapists (e.g. pelvic health, sports rehabilitation) can charge £90–150 for initial assessments. Group physiotherapy classes typically charge £20–40 per participant.
