Accomplishments
In keeping with the current NHS long term plan for placement capacity and the four pillars of practice, whilst at University I was fortunate enough to co create a questionnaire around the development and promotion of non clinical placements within physiotherapy. The results of this were then presented at the Co create conference in Manchester to help progress this further.
