I have been very aware that Covid-19 has meant that many of my colleagues and I have been unable to offer any work experience to school pupils who are considering physiotherapy as a career option. With this in mind, I have organised an online event to give everyone the opportunity to learn a little more about physiotherapy from physiotherapists. We have a panel of four fully qualified physiotherapists and one current physio student and between us have a good mix of NHS and private practice experience as well some work with sports teams. We will be able to give some insight into all areas of physiotherapy’s wide-reaching remit. The format of the evening is going to be very informal – we will all chat about our own experiences and day to day life in physiotherapy as well as how we got into it (we seem to cover a fair mix on that too!) and also plan to open up to any questions pupils and/or parents/guardians may have. The event is going to be on Facebook live and so we will be able to take questions on the night but if anyone would like to submit any questions in advance, they are more than welcome to by emailing jenny@jennydrysdalephysio.co.uk. Thursday 18th March 2021 7pm Facebook Live, @Jenny Drysdale Physiotherapy Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like any more details or if I can help in any other way.
