Content

In the third and last academic portion of ‘Organisation and Entrepreneurship in Health Care’ one single topic will be central: the business plan.
 
Every year about 100,000 people in the Netherlands take steps aimed at setting up their own business. Many physiotherapists will also take the step towards setting up their own business.
 
Even if not every physiotherapist starts his own business, every HBO student is expected to have developed entrepreneurial qualities by the time he graduates. Entrepreneurial qualities are also needed in existing organisations. These qualities are necessary to keep innovating and to give shape to ideas geared towards the improvement of physiotherapeutic care. As an entrepreneurial physiotherapist you could, for example, set up a new gym or practice, or even offer new products such as paramedical equipment; ICT, gaming or health apps; innovative training forms for patients/healthy people; patient information services; continued education for your peers; etc.

To arrive at a business plan you have to work on a project basis. In this block we will cover the various phases that lead to the product.
