Amy Gasson, founder and director of Mint Wellbeing is a Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist with over 14 years’ experience working in the NHS and private sector. Here she tells us about her career to date and the importance of joining MSKPN.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“MSKPN has been a lifesaver.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love that the job is always changing, no day is the same<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always knew I wanted to set up a business and after 7 years working in the NHS I founded Mint Wellbeing. I thrive when faced with a challenge and love to see the development of our practice, encompassing a strong emphasis on our internal staff culture, the patients’ experience and high quality care from experienced clinicians.<\/p>\n

I became a MSKPN member in the early months of Covid<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was told about MSKPN through a friend. It really was a lifeline, helping me navigate all those uncertain Covid months.<\/p>\n

Everyone is in it together<\/strong><\/p>\n

We soon came to realise that no one knew what was going on and every day the legislation seemed to be changing.<\/p>\n

The comradery in MSKPN is lovely<\/strong><\/p>\n

The support that everyone gives you is amazing. There is the WhatsApp group which is very useful but I have had plenty of 1:1 calls\/messages with other business owners either giving them advice from my experiences or seeking their advice to help me with a problem I might be facing. This to me is invaluable.<\/p>\n

As a growing business it provides support in many areas<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of our greatest needs is trying to get some acknowledgement from the big insurance companies that we\u2019ve not even had an inflationary based fee rise for 6 years let alone a fee rise which matches current self-fund rates. Costs are rising across the board in so many areas. This is becoming the most depressing area of running a business but MSKPN is fighting our corner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Data collection is a pressing need for us too<\/strong><\/p>\n

MSK data collection is a key focus for us going into 2024. As a small business, the cost associated with this remains a concern but collaborating with other MSKPN members to learn from their experiences is vital to help guide us.<\/p>\n
