A Student Supervised Neurological Physiotherapy Clinic [Case Study]

Abstract

In October 2015 I started an optional Student Supervised Physiotherapy clinic for neurologically impaired patients. The primary aim of the clinic is to provide an experiential learning environment for Levels 5 and 6 students. The secondary aim of the clinic is to provide an assessment, review and treatment to local service users experiencing neurological problems and who are seeking further/alternate physiotherapy within a learning environment. The clinic is the first dedicated student supervised neurological physiotherapy clinic in the UK that we are aware of.
