Hi
Im a 19 year old irish student applying.
Iv actually been really lucky here in Ireland and arranged loads of experience from emailing,phoning and sending letters to lots of different places!
So far, iv got 1 day in the Public Hospital a half hour away, also iv got 2 days in the smaller public hospital in the city aswell!
a private hospital in the same city is also giving me a day.
The sports surgery clinic (private sports hospital) in Dublin is giving me a day and im going there wednesday!
the national rehab hospital has me on a waiting list.
Last week I attended a day course in understanding mental health and the providers are a group who deal with disabled children. They have offered me shadowing with there physio every week until I would go to the UK next year.
Furthermore, Iv sorted experience with 3 private physios, 2 sports therapists, a nursing home, Connacht and Munster Rugby teams and the Brothers of Charity (intellectual disability group).
I hope that all of this will stand to me in my application.
Has anybody started reading anything?
Today I bought a couple of books fairly cheap on ebay!
However,
Iv already covered most anatomy/physiology etc. as im almost finished sports therapy!
Wheres most peeps applying to?
Patrick
