Physiotherapy

“I’ve enjoyed getting stuck in and developing as a clinician, as well as a person.”

When I first visited Oxford Brookes I liked the look of the campus and the facilities available. The support and friendliness of the staff appealed to me more than any of the other universities I had looked around.

I’ve worked out on placement at Neurosciences Intensive Care, Outpatients, Orthopaedics and Stroke Rehab so far. I’ve enjoyed getting stuck in and developing as a clinician, as well as a person. Being able to build relationships with patients and seeing them progress is very rewarding.

Throughout my time at Oxford Brookes I’ve received a lot of support from my lecturers and academic advisor, as well as the Library services when writing my dissertation. After graduating I hope to get a job working in one of the Oxfordshire hospitals – I’d love to specialise in Orthopaedics!
