Hey all!
SO excited I leave for China tonight!! So I'm going to post my last blog a little early....
I wanted to say how supportive and fantastic my final prac was in neuro at SPC. It makes such a difference when the staff enjoy what they are doing and actually care enough about the pt to teach us how to be better practitioners...Really this is what prac should be about - of course we need to know the basics, but uni can't teach us everything and I think one of the best ways to learn is by watching other, more experienced physios. Not only this but I found the learning environment to be really helpful to improve my learning. All the physios work in one large gym which has about nine beds and everyone just helps out everyone else - there are no politics about who does what and therefore as students we were often asked to help out with transfers, gait retraining, etc... which made me feel valued and confident and I think it really enabled me to continue to learn and really enjoy what I was doing!

Yes I completely agree rach. My final prac in Carnarvon has been the best environment so far. I think it is also because it is my last prac so I have many of the skills required already having done all my core pracs. However, I am feeling like an actual member of the physio dpt rather than a burden. My ideas and thoughts are valued and if I have any questions they are welcomed. I have been working much better as a result. Physio is great fun, lol :)
