Is there not, therefore, room for some confusion? Let us suppose a member of the public walks into one of these therapists. Is it not useful to know who is a physiotherapist? I am unsure whether I have understood the briefing correctly. Maybe this is unfair and maybe they are more highly trained or trained in a different way. Is there potential for confusion or for the public to be unable to differentiate between the two?
