When you successfully complete the course you will be able to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), to allow you to work as a physiotherapist in the UK.You’ll learn through a combination of methods including lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical classes, presentations and reflection – as well spending some periods on clinical practice placements. You’ll also learn through real-life simulations and by exposure to state-of-the-art equipment. The comprehensive curriculum that you’ll study has been approved by the HCPC, and you’ll gain the core skills needed to assess and diagnose patients’ problems caused by accident, illness or ageing, and to formulate treatment plans and implement exercise, physical activity and therapeutic treatments.Studying this course will give you the skills needed to work as part of a multidisciplinary team and alongside other clinical therapists – with the NHS or beyond – in a range of settings.Physiotherapy core values are central to the curriculum and emphasis is placed on the unique and individual client-centred assessment and management informing the content and configuration of the curriculum (rather than bio-medical and service-led patterns).
