How to update your Find a Therapist details
The find a therapist function has three distinct starting points:
- geographical search, by entering postcode or town - this search uses the practice address full post code and will return the nearest 100 therapists to the point entered. This search will soon be linked to a map showing the nearest 100 therapists within a 50 mile radius. If you do not provide your full post code for a practice address it will not be included in the results from the search and will not be displayed on the map.
- surname or surname and forename.
- county or region - this search returns an unsorted list of all the therapists in a given county or region.
If you are concerned about privacy/security then only providing the first half of your postcode will exclude you from search 1 while still allowing individuals or employers to verify your registration and identify the region that you work in.
Keywords can be used to refine the find a therapist search.
- Forename and Surname
These should be entered as you wish to be known - the format is of little importance as most potential clients would not know your name. - Town/City
This is an important search criteria as it will most likely be the first thing a potential client searches for. Keeping in mind that the search engine is based on keywords, it is advisable to be as specific as possible here. For example, if you live in West London but have neglected to include the word "West" in your details, then anyone searching for that word will be unable to find you. Or, similarly, if you live somewhere which is habitually referred to as being near somewhere else, for example "West Kington, near Chippenham" then it would make the search more productive to include this information. - Keywords
This is a new criteria, and is provided for clients to search keywords in the given list pertaining to their particular symptoms or areas of concern.
* As this is new information, you must log into the website and add your details before potential clients are able to search for it *
