Are you willing to put patients first in everything you do, and treat all with respect, dignity and compassion? Are you aware that physiotherapists work in all areas of health (eg elderly care, intensive care, respiratory care, stroke care, mental health and orthopaedics) not just in musculoskeletal/sports injuries? Do you realise that, for the safety of their patients, all physiotherapy students are required to be vaccinated and to pass both a medical and an enhanced criminal record check? Do you appreciate that physiotherapy students are expected to act in the role of patients for their classmates during practical classes, and that this sometimes means being appropriately dressed for that activity? Are you prepared to put in a lot of work (20+ in-class hours in Year 1, plus plenty of home study)?... If so, this may be the course for you.We will train you to cope with virtually all situations that physiotherapists meet professionally. We will also focus on your academic development, aiming to leave you able to: identify problems that need solving, seek out related information and critically appraise its value, come up with recommendations for tackling the initial problem, and produce a report/presentation with which to transmit your recommendations to an audience process 'academic revalidation'.
