What is included?

Full transparency is important to me, so here is a full list of all the course resources you will have access to:

An illustrated group of four women from diverse backgrounds standing together, representing different ethnicities and styles. The cover page has the title 'Preparing for Private Practice' and includes a logo with the text 'Lucy Ruddle' and references to breastfeeding support.

  • 2 templates for you to copy or adapt - Terms and Conditions and intake form.

  • A fee setting worksheet

Module 2:

  • 4 videos - What I carry for home visits, emergency car kit, writing reports, communicating with other professionals

  • A record of professional contact for you to print or download and use

  • The pros and cons of scales PDF

Letterhead with logo, contact information, and body text of a professional medical recommendation letter regarding prescribing domperidone for lactation support.

  • I understand there is a LOT to consider when starting your private practice. We will discuss how to register as self-employed, GDPR requirements and how to meet legal requirements, setting fees, writing documents such as terms and conditions, and payment policies. I will also guide you in setting up your intake forms and safe storing of data.

  • I do not offer a trial for this course for a few reasons. The most important being, that it is important to me that each cohort is able to connect as a community - this isn’t possible if people are joining and leaving at different times.
