If anyone wants to register for more info/updates on start dates etc for our physio course (an intro to physiotherapy for the geriatric patient) you can register here:

or if you have any qs just give me a shout.

I put a load of updates pics of my little (16yo border terrier) Otto that I practice some of the techniques on - it's done him the world of good :) :) He even asks to do his exercises (oh the power of the clicker :))

Im being nosey at this post as I also have a desire to train to be a Physiotherapist. I love AnP and all the physio work we do in pratice. Has anyone found out if we could get further educational grants/ funding for the courses? or any cheaper courses as they are slightly out of my price range. Also I saw the short course on the geriatric physio that I hope todo soon but, are there any other short courses any one knows of?

Regards

Jack

what course did you take to do this Kerrie, and how long did it take? Are you still employed in the same practice or did you find employment doing purely physio work? sorry for all the questions! Natasha - i was looking into that course too - is it expensive?

Aha - Katie tutors our course too - she's fab! Hope you enjoy your course, I'm thinking of looking into this more too so would be good to hear how you get on. It's such a brilliant area for VNs to work in!

Hi karrie thanks for your reply, for some reason I've only just realise that you commented. Ive started my training with Katie Lawrence on the justo development course and am i really enjoying it. I think you trained with Katie too? As I've seen you comment on some of the Physio facebook groups x

Hi Natasha,

Just FYI - we do a 2 week online course which offers an intro to some techniques that can be used in geriatric patients. You may have already embarked on your physio career, but if not, this course would give you a really good taster! We're just running our first intake now and it's absolutely fascinating the things we can do for those older patients! My little old dog is enjoying it (I think!)

We'll be running it again in August.

Hi Natasha,

I went onto become a Vet Physio.

It's an incredibly challenging but rewarding job. The course itself is full on but that is what you expect of it to be honest! If you enjoyed A&P etc then you will understand the basics, it's just building on it all in much more detail.
