2026 E4 - Why Are We So Obsessed With 30-Minute Consults?

Few topics in physiotherapy provoke more heated debate than consult length — and in this episode, Jeremy and James dive headfirst into it. Is the 30-minute follow-up consult a clinical necessity, or has it simply become an unquestioned default? They unpack why the real conversation should centre on hourly rate rather than arbitrary time blocks, how 20-minute consults can deliver genuine value for the right presentation, and why sharpening your clinical efficiency isn't a compromise — it's a professional skill. Whether you're a clinician, a practice owner, or somewhere in between, expect to be challenged. Fair warning: some of you will be triggered.
