Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that sees human movement as central to the health and well-being of people of all ages. This course with teach students how to confidently assess and treat patients, and to work with both patients and other members of the multi-professional team professionally and effectively. Students will learn from leading physiotherapists. The teaching is delivered by a cohesive team of lecturer-practitioner staff who are all experts in their clinical fields of physiotherapy practice. This means that as well as teaching at the University, they also work as specialist physiotherapists in areas such as the NHS, Ministry of Defence, private practice and even high-level sport. Teaching is conducted in small groups and students will have access to Leicester's facilities to develop and enhance their knowledge and skills, including dedicated practical rooms, a movement analysis lab, and a state-of-the-art clinical skills unit with high tech simulated patients that enable students to practise procedures in a safe environment. Students will even have access to Leicester Medical School's anatomy dissection room.We believe talking with patients and getting the bigger picture can make all the difference to how you approach treating a patient. With that in mind, our lecturers put a real focus on developing your communication skills to help you assess and treat your patients and to motivate them to achieve the best possible recovery. Practical experience is central to this degree, and students will undergo training on a diverse range of placements, including with NHS and private hospitals, mental health placements, learning disability services, palliative care, high level sport (with Leicester Tigers), specialist head injury and sports injury facilities. This breadth of experience ensures students will become familiar with the variation and day-to-day demands of the physiotherapist’s role and they get all the clinical placement hours they need to qualify as a Chartered Physiotherapist.
