Eoin describes his experience at the Student-Led Physio Service at the University of Salford

Eoin is a second year Physio student at the University of Salford who has completed a placement at the Student-led Physio Service.

Eoin has coped well with the COVID-19 restrictions and having to wear full PPE when treating patients.

 

For the students to practice their “hands on” skills in this Musculo-skeletal setting in highly valuable as they apply the theory they have learned into real practice with real patients.

Owen describes his experience at the MIHP

Owen has just completed his 6-week placement at the MIHP, under the supervision of his University Lecturers, Dale Walker and Ray Healy.

When theory is learned in the classroom where most of the students are able-bodied the scenario can sometimes lose its realism.

However, with a “real-life” patient who has actual symptoms the scenario is completely different.

This “great experience” with patients is also “Time-Protected” to allow reflection and clinical reasoning to be predominated over time management.

Which is the Student’s biggest challenge when going into a Musculo-Skeletal (MSK) Out-Patients placement.

Owen has been learning new “hands on” techniques including Myofascial release with an Instrument Assist (we use Rock Blades in the Clinic), Joint Mobilisations, Electrotherapy (we use Compex in the Clinic) and Exercise prescription.

Owen would highly recommend this experience to other students before they go out on their MSK Placement.

Rachel describes her experience at the MIHP

              

I volunteered for the MIHP Clinic from September to mid-October. 

It was such a useful experience- Dale and Ray supported us with teaching sessions before the service users came to the clinic, so you felt assured before you went in that you would be able to manage the patient.

Dale and Ray were also just outside if you needed any advice or weren’t sure of something. 

We learnt so many transferable skills on manual handling and exercise prescription, and also some treatment techniques that we wouldn’t see in University such as Acupuncture and Myo-fascial release. 

It was really lovely to see yourself having a positive impact on someone else’s life and made me more confident as a health professional.

Aine describes her experience at the MIHP

                       

Aine’s feedback

"I had a brilliant experience volunteering at the MIHP."

During the six weeks my practical and communication skills improved no end, and I also I grew in confidence.

It was great being able to put the theory we learned in University into practice on real patients while also having a lecturer there to support us if we had any problems.

During the six weeks we were also learned how to use some very specialist equipment such as Compex which I might never have get the opportunity to use otherwise.

I would highly recommend the MIHP to any student looking to improve their skills and knowledge.

Niall describes his work experience at the Student-Led Physio Service

                

Niall came to shadow us today at the Student-Led Physio Service run from the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance (MIHP).

Niall is gaining clinical experience in order to apply for the BSc in Physiotherapy.

He was impressed that The University of Salford Physiotherapy department now have a service that is run by students as part of their learning experience as they translate theory from the classroom into practical skills with real patients.

It was Student change over day where seven new students get the opportunity to work at the MIHP for the next 6 weeks, under the guidance of their Physio Tutors, Dale Walker and Ray Healy.
