You will complete 1,000 hours of supervised clinical practice throughout your degree, to comply with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy's requirements. This includes six five-week placements in years two and three.
Placements are designed to reinforce what you have learned on your course and prepare you for practice in a range of settings.
We work with several hospital trusts offering expertise across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and Leicestershire. Placement locations and areas of practice could include:
-
cardiorespiratory (experience in intensive or high dependency units
-
community cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation)
-
paediatric oncology
-
community health care of the older person
-
trauma and orthopaedics (either elective, trauma, or spinal)
Our Clinical Placements team organises all placements.
