🎓 University of Pretoria Faculty Day – Research Presentation

Physiotherapists' Experiences of Forensic Audits by South African Medical Funding Schemes

At the University of Pretoria’s Faculty Day 2024, Lesley Meyer presented the first qualitative study in South Africa exploring physiotherapists’ experiences of forensic audits by medical schemes. The study highlighted how audit processes, often conducted without due process or fairness, deeply affected physiotherapists’ emotional well-being, professional standing, and livelihoods.

Her presentation was a powerful moment of advocacy, offering insight into a hidden crisis affecting ethical healthcare providers. Audience members, including academics and clinicians, commended the bravery behind the research and the clarity it brought to an under-examined issue in private practice.
