In this practical and refreshingly honest episode, Lizzy and Emily tackle a listener’s question about one of the most time-consuming—and sometimes stress-inducing—parts of an allied health professional’s week: report writing.

They unpack why reports matter, how they differ depending on your workplace, funding source, and audience, and why systematising your process can save hours of time (and a whole lot of mental load). From templates to time-blocking, they share how their own clinics have streamlined reporting to make it efficient, effective, and burnout-proof.

Key Takeaways:

• Reports vary by context—but the basics should always be there.
• Know your audience: professional collaboration reports will differ from parent-friendly versions.
• Templates, processes, and examples save time and improve consistency.
• Allocate dedicated admin time in your diary—don’t take paperwork home.
