Physiotherapy Assistant Review

Assisting with physiotherapy treatment. Providing physio sessions to children and young people. Writing patient notes and doing admin tasks and signposting families to resources.

I have learnt a lot about physio therapy and treatment that is given to aid and improve children with a variety of different problems including neuro, msk, orthopaedic. I have been able to take part in data collection and presenting at conferences.

My programme has a lot of content with lots to learn and can be hard to juggle a good work life balance. I however enjoy learning new things and being able to discuss things further in a workplace to know more about it and to understand it better.

The programme is organised and structured well. However, it is hard to have a whole week off as university requires you to be in as normal. The uni days are the same which gives continuity.

My colleagues in the workplace can be supportive when providing off the job training and supporting my learning and knowledge in the workplace. However, sometimes support hasn’t been the best from management

Salford University are very supportive and provide you with as much as they can to guide you through exams and assessments with lots of writing support available through library services.

I have been able to use my knowledge in my workplace to implement exercises programs and sessions for children and young people. The knowledge I have gained has helped me broaden my understanding and ability to research to find the best physiotherapy approach

We have conferences that we are able to attend where we can network and present ideas

Yes

Good environment to work in. My colleagues are supportive and approachable and will give you time to improve learning and help where required.

Be yourself and voice what you would like to achieve and accomplish.
