144 How to Make Your Clinic Compliant: Essential Compliance Tips for Physio and Health Business Owners

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'

“If we are not investigated, why do I need to be compliant?”

Welcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast! I’m Katie, and in this episode, I’m diving into the world of compliance, why it matters, even if you’re not being audited or investigated, and how you can make it a real strength in your clinic. I’m joined by the brilliant Sarah and Sandra from HCPG, who are experts in helping clinic owners like us plug the gaps and build solid, safe businesses without any judgement. If you’ve ever felt unsure about what you need in place or worried you’re missing something crucial, this conversation is for you.

Episode Summary 📝

Today, I chat with Sarah and Sandra about all things compliance. We talk about why so many physios and clinic owners put compliance on the back burner, especially when no one is checking up on us. Sarah explains how the current system allows physios to fly under the radar and why that can be risky. Sandra shares her experience from running private practices and working in the NHS, and together they highlight why having solid compliance foundations is just like building a house, you might not see the value straight away, but you’ll absolutely sleep better at night knowing everything is safe and secure.

We also dig into the real reasons compliance slips down the to-do list, how patient expectations have shifted since COVID, and why most people who seek help are much less compliant than they thought (and that’s completely normal!). The big message? It’s never too late to get support and start making small changes.

Key Takeaways ⭐

• Compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes or having policies on a shelf, it’s about understanding what you have and how to use it.
• Most clinic owners have more gaps than they realise, but getting support is the best first step.
• Patient expectations are higher than ever, and being able to evidence your compliance is essential.
• Don’t rely on generic or AI-generated policies, make sure you actually understand your processes and can demonstrate them.
• It’s normal to feel nervous about asking for help, but Sarah and Sandra are truly supportive and not here to judge.
• Small, simple changes can make a huge difference to your business and your peace of mind.
