\"Injury<\/p>\n

If you have an interest in a career in physiotherapy, it is important to be aware that professional sport is only one area that chartered physiotherapists practice. Most chartered physiotherapists work as part of a healthcare team in different situations, such as:<\/p>\n

Care of the Elderly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually in a hospital setting, working to maintain mobility and independence in older patients who suffer from a range of age related diseases.<\/p>\n

Orthopaedic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rehabilitating patients who have had surgery to their bones and joints. This surgery may be due to trauma or alternatively an elective procedure for an orthopaedic condition.<\/p>\n

Paediatrics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Treating children with mental and physical handicaps such as Cerebral Palsy or Spina Bifida.<\/p>\n

Neurological Rehabilitation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working with patients who are recovering from strokes and traumatic brain injuries to restore normal movement and function. Also providing support to patients with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis to prevent secondary complications.<\/p>\n

Palliative Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working in the community or in hospices to treat patients with late stage cancer or AIDS.<\/p>\n

Private Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working independently in private practice, clinics, hospitals, and GP surgeries, treating a wide range of conditions.<\/p>\n

Occupational Health<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larger companies often have their own medical centre. Chartered physiotherapists treat employees’ injuries and evaluate the work process in order to prevent physical problems due to repetitive work tasks.<\/p>\n

Mental Health<\/strong><\/p>\n

Helping people with mental illness through exercise and relaxation techniques aimed at improving self esteem and confidence.<\/p>\n

Musculoskeletal Outpatients<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within hospital or GP practice settings, treating spinal and joint problems, trauma and sports injuries.<\/p>\n

Women’s Health<\/strong><\/p>\n

Advising on antenatal and postnatal care, exercise and posture, and managing continence and post-gynaecological operations.<\/p>\n

Intensive care<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working with seriously ill people to maintain joint function and maintain good respiratory function.<\/p>\n

As you can see, there are a wide range of very different specialties within physiotherapy. The thing that all areas have in common is the use of exercise and manual skills to improve patient function.<\/p>\n

After graduate qualification, most chartered physiotherapists gain a wide range of experience in these different clinical areas before specialising in one area. This requires further postgraduate qualifications.<\/p>\n

Before you apply for a place on a physiotherapy degree course, it is important that all students realise they will be required to undertake clinical placements in a wide range of the above specialities and to demonstrate basic skills in the core areas of musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and neurology, prior to qualification.<\/p>\n

Following qualification, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) recommends newly qualified chartered physiotherapists consolidate their knowledge by working under the supervision of more experienced clinicians. Medical insurance companies now stipulate that physiotherapists must have at least 5 years experience before they will consider them for recognition. This means that it is likely to take eight years from commencement of training for a physiotherapist to realise any ambition they might have to make a full career from private practice.<\/p>\n

Work Experience as a Physiotherapist<\/h2>\n

Work experience shows you have researched a career as a chartered physiotherapist and helps you understand what the job is all about. Because of the confidential nature of the work, and the work demands on the small number of staff, work experience within a professional football club is usually not possible. Also, as mentioned earlier, this is only one area that chartered physiotherapists work in and is not reflective of the profession as a whole.<\/p>\n

A better alternative is to get an insight of physiotherapy within a hospital. Many physiotherapy programmes or hospital departments in your area will probably hold an open day at some stage in the year. Requests to either should be made in writing, enclosing a large stamped addressed envelope.<\/p>\n

Gaining work experience within the hospital physiotherapy department is helpful, but places are limited and this may be difficult to organise because of the pressures there are on busy physiotherapy departments.<\/p>\n

Work experience in any area of healthcare should be useful, since the university admissions tutors want to ensure that you have the ability to communicate well with a cross-section of the public and can cope with issues surrounding illness and disability. Your school careers teacher or school\/local careers department should be able to assist with organising work experience, as well as helping you to write letters and make appointments.<\/p>\n

Studying to be a Chartered Physiotherapist<\/h2>\n

There are three main routes:<\/p>\n

Full Time Programmes<\/b><\/p>\n

It takes three or four years of full-time study to become a chartered and state registered physiotherapist. This includes a large amount of study in your own time, and lengthy clinical placements that may not necessarily be in your university area. The course is extremely demanding and requires a substantial commitment to study.<\/p>\n

Part Time Programmes<\/b><\/p>\n

There are a number of part-time physiotherapy programmes in the UK. A few of these programmes have been set up primarily for physio assistants who would like to train as chartered physiotherapists.<\/p>\n

Accelerated Programmes<\/b><\/p>\n

There are a number of accelerated physiotherapy programmes in the UK offering licence to practice physiotherapy. Applicants who have already obtained a degree in a relevant discipline such as a biological science, psychology or sports science, (first class or upper second class honours graduates), may be eligible to study for an accelerated Masters degree programme. Upon successful completion, graduates will be eligible to apply for state registration and membership of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.<\/p>\n

What qualifications do I require in order to get on a physiotherapy degree course?<\/h3>\n

This depends on the university that you apply to. The general requirements are as follows:<\/p>\n

England, Wales & Northern Ireland – School leavers are normally required to have three A2 level subjects at a minimum of grade C and above (one should be biological science) and normally four A1 levels at grade B including a biological science. In addition to the above, students should hold a minimum of five GCSEs at grade C and above. The latter should be taken at one sitting and include mathematics, english language and a spread of science subjects.<\/p>\n

The typical A level profile of a school leaver accepted for all programmes in 2000 was 24 A level points (the equivalent of 3 Bs).<\/p>\n

Scotland – A typical student profile is five SCE Highers at grades AABBB taken at one sitting (minimum of two science subjects).<\/p>\n

Eire – School leavers should have an Irish Leaving Certificate with a minimum of four passes in subjects at higher level – two at B grade and two at C grade.<\/p>\n

Other qualifications, such as BTec\/HND Health Studies, GNVQ in Health and Social Care equivalent to those listed above, may be accepted but prospective students are strongly advised to contact the institutions to which they intend to apply for their specific requirements.<\/p>\n

Remember, each university has its own individual entry requirements. Applicants are advised to write directly to the universities of their choice, enclosing a large stamped addressed envelope, for a prospectus, which will include specific details of entry requirements. Alternatively, telephone the admissions tutor at each university for more specific information about their programme.<\/p>\n

How to apply for a physiotherapy degree programme<\/h3>\n

After reading through the college prospectuses and visiting open days, applications for full time physiotherapy undergraduate degree programmes can be made through Universities and Colleges Admissions Services (UCAS) www.ucas.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your school or local careers service can help guide you through this process.<\/p>\n

What’s the difference between choosing a physiotherapy or sports therapy course?<\/h3>\n

Physiotherapists who treat sports injuries tend to work in elite level sport, such as a Premiership football club or with Olympic athletes, more than sports therapists. Although sports therapists work purely in sports injury treatment only a small minority of sports therapists work in elite sport.<\/p>\n

A level grades may end up making your decision for you. Generally, Physiotherapy degrees require three B’s or above, while the requirements for Sports Therapy degrees are less demanding.<\/p>\n

What undergraduate physiotherapy courses are available?<\/h3>\n

There are over 30 physiotherapy degree programmes across the UK. In addition, there are a number of accelerated programmes in physiotherapy, mostly at masters level, to cater for those who already have a relevant undergraduate degree and wish to qualify as a chartered physiotherapist. The following courses were listed by UCAS at the time of writing (the course codes are provided) and are validated by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and the Health Professionals Council:<\/p>\n
