Why study physiotherapy?
Working as part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team – either in an NHS, independent or charity hospital or in the community – physiotherapists help to maintain and restore movement and function in people affected by injury, illness or disability.
It’s varied, stimulating and rewarding work. There’s always a need for skilled physiotherapists who know how to deliver safe, effective care in a way that promotes physical, psychological and social wellbeing.
A £5,000 per year training grant is available for students. Further information is available on the NHS Business Services website.
