The Practitioner Peer Support Study

Help build the first real picture of how self-employed health and wellness practitioners support each other with the business side of practice.

What actually helps, what doesn’t and where the gaps are. It takes about five minutes, and your experience, whatever it looks like, makes that picture sharper.

  • Free and voluntary
  • About five minutes
  • No account needed
  • Answers can be withdrawn at any time

Why take part

Your experience is the evidence

Informal support, a word-of-mouth tip, a fellow practitioner’s pricing advice, a shared space, happens constantly in this sector, yet almost nobody has studied it. That means decisions about practitioner support are being made without hearing from the people who live it.

Shape better support
Your answers help build the first real picture of how practitioners help each other with the business side of practice. That picture guides what support gets built next.
Every experience counts
Whether informal support has saved your business, let you down, or simply never happened, your story matters. Gaps are just as valuable as successes.

Reading the findings

What this study can and can’t tell us

Findings describe the experiences of the people who chose to respond. They cannot establish that informal support causes better business outcomes, and they are not a representative picture of every practitioner in the UK.

GROW sponsors the study and also offers commercial business education and support. Read about GROW’s role.

Ready when you are

Five minutes now helps shape support for years to come

The more practitioners who respond, the clearer the picture becomes for everyone in the sector.
