Episode 84 - Themes from 2025: Answers to your most common questions! (Part 2)
Wednesday, 1 April, 2026
Speakers: Leanne Loranger and Sean FitzGerald In this episode of College Conversations, Leanne and Sean continue their discussion of the most common questions received by the College's Practice Advisor in 2025, focusing on three key themes: Funding, Fees, and Billing; Continuing Competence; and Duty of Care. The conversation begins with Funding, Fees, and Billing, including questions about contracts, billing practices, fee schedules, and recent changes to the Standards that enable bundled and pre‑paid services, when specific conditions are met. Next, the episode explores practice advice questions related to the Continuing Competence Standard, with a focus on questions about the profession's scope of practice and physiotherapist individual competence. Sean and Leanne highlight the questions received regarding emerging practices, developing competence in a new area of practice, and the requirements that must be met for a service to be considered physiotherapy. Finally, the discussion turns to Duty of Care, addressing questions about discontinuing services, continuity of care, and managing abusive client situations. The episode concludes with a reminder that the Practice Advisor is available to support physiotherapists with practice-related questions.
