I probably have very similar feelings to everyone else in that I have a mix of nervousness but at the same time very keen to get out there and see what this physiotherapy business is all about. I know from my first time at uni I learnt so much from time spent out in the real world during work experience and I expect this first taste to be exactly the same if not even more beneficial. It will be very exciting to consolidate and apply everything we have learned up to this point and also learn much more. Five weeks seems like a long time but I’m expecting it to fly by.
Swan Districts hospital contains a very wide array of health professionals and it is crucial for effective communication with all. Physios must be willing to work together to enable a great amount of different experiences to be taken into account when assessing and treating patients. The physiotherapist must also be aware when expertise from outside the physio department is necessary and be able to organise the required resources on these occasions. To effectively manage a multidisciplinary team all parties need to be aware of the advantages of having different health professionals involved and also what each is able to bring to the group….an open mind is paramount.
