Course overview
Chartered physiotherapists have an important role to play in the healthcare of people of all ages. They assess an individual’s ability to move and return to normal activities following an acute injury or illness or for someone living with a long term condition. The approach combines physical means (such as therapeutic exercise) with a psychosocial approach to facilitate a return to functional independence and a normal lifestyle. Physiotherapists work in multidisciplinary teams and practise in a variety of settings. You will work with children, adults and older people in a wide variety of settings including:
- intensive care
- mental health
- stroke units
- rehabilitation centres
- sports and leisure facilities
This requires excellent communication skills, alongside a scientific background and a passionate interest in patient focussed care and promoting good health.
If you are shortlisted by SGUL you will be invited to an interview. This will normally be 15 minutes long in front of a panel of two (usually an academic and a clinician or current student). Read more about the interview process.
