Why STUDY PHYSIOTHERAPY?physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with human function and movement and with maximising people’s potential. as a physiotherapist you may assess and treat people of all ages who have a range of physical problems caused by illness, injury, accident, birth defects or ageing. treatment may be strenuous and involve exercise, movement, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy and techniques such as massage and manipulation. health education, aimed at preventing disease and injury, may also be an important part of your work.

Many physiotherapists work within hospitals where they are needed within virtually all departments from general out patients to intensive care where round-the-clock physiotherapy can be vital to keep unconscious patients

breathing. they may also work in community settings and a variety of other areas such as industry, special schools, private sector, education and leisure and sport.

Whatever the setting, being a physiotherapist is about teamwork; building up a rapport with patients and maintaining communication with a network of other healthcare professionals such as occupational therapists, Gps, nurses and social workers.

physiotherapy is a hands-on and physical career in every sense, requiring personal qualities of patience and compassion, along with good communication skills.




CAREER OPTIONS

successful completion of the course allows you to apply for registration with the health and Care professions Council and membership of the Chartered society of physiotherapy.

as a new graduate, you will generally be employed within the nhs as a band 5 physiotherapist. once you have gained clinical experience, you may then choose to specialise in a range of areas such as orthapaedics, obstetrics, or working with the elderly.

With further postgraduate study there are opportunities in higher education, sports medicine, the voluntary sector and in animal or equine physiotherapy.
