final entry!

1.
I really enjoyed my placement and learnt so much about all aspects of physio that I couldn't imagine I would have learnt before going on placement.
I was exposed to a number of different patients, situations and wards that I feel more confident in myself and how to react and interact in different scenarios which can only help in the future.
I think I’m going to feel a bit strange on Monday when I don't have to wake up at 6:30 and head down to Mandurah!
all in all this unit has been fantastic in exposing me to the large world of physiotherapy and pushing me to use all the skills I have learnt at uni to do well.

2.

  • How to interact with difficult patients and different strategies to use.
  • How important team work within an allied health profession is.
  • to have confidence in myself and to give everything thrown at me a go
  • that no two patients are the same and that you must be able to adapt treatments to cater each patient individually
  • Having a sound basic knowledge is important to have good clinical reasoning skills.
