Physiotherapy

We have strong links with the University of Brighton in providing specialist palliative care placements to undergraduate physiotherapy students.

The students are with us for 6 weeks and have the opportunity to work alongside the specialist physiotherapist with In-patients, in Day Therapy and out in the community.

This is an excellent opportunity to enhance assessment and treatment skills when treating patients with life limiting illnesses.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my student placement here at St. Wilfrid’s. It has given me the opportunity to put all my theory learned in class into practice. Everyone has made me feel so welcome and have I have really felt part of the multi disciplinary team. The skills I have learned will be an excellent starting block for when I qualify as a physiotherapist”.  Susie Sedgewick
