    whats the pay compare like between private and NHS

    The NHS pays £17.24 an hour as a band 6 physiotherapist, £16.73 as a band 5 (new physio). My private work charges £45 for 45 minutes, £55 for an hour. Hope this helps. I know some physios charge a lot more privately, upwards of £130 an hour!
