11am 10th February! In the middle of our next placement which should be great, sure won't want to be seeing many patients in the afternoon if I've failed!!

Oh the rotator cuff-I used to loathe it until my first placement, it was all MSK based and ended up actually understanding the shoulder once I could see how everything worked in practice.

Sure you did great! What did you have to do for your practical?! Are you in the 2nd year or 1st?

I'm in 2nd year. For my exam I was given a paper patient who'd had an RTA resulting in peripheral nerve damage to his common peroneal nerve 12 weeks previously. He was just gaining a flicker of muscle activity in his dorsi flexors.

I had to come up with a treatment plan for him. It was a nice scenario and pretty easy really I just got messed up because the structure of the exam was different to the mock and I got told to do something I hadn't really planned for. Looking back now I think I was pretty good with the pathology and general anatomy of the affected area and how it would affect function so hopefully that will get me a pass.

I don't know how the different uni's work their practical exams but in ours you have to model for another persons exam after yours. I was modelling for a respiratory case scenario and it just seemed so much easier and the structure was allot nicer too, everyone in my year hates prac exams and the way they work, it's not a very fair system.

yeah we have to model for others too....................how you finding the 2nd year? what departments have you been on placement? We don't go out till the 2nd year on proper placements but we get a half day one shadowing a 3rd year which I have in 2 weeks - elderly care - how fun :wink:

I have my interview at Nottingham tomorrow...scary! And the Birmingham one going pear-shaped doesn't really reassure me!

Still, I've been on the Exploring Physio course since then so I'm a loit more prepared. I'll let you know how it goes...

We have neuroanatomy and neurophysio all combined :frown: It was waaaaaaaay over my head and we've only had one lecture :frown:

We do on module called foundations of physiotherapy practice but its subdivided into
- Neuromusculoskeletal (my favourite as I covered most of it on my last degree lol)
- Cardiorespiratory - Wohoo I get to play with my stethoscope!
- Electrotherapy
- Neuro Physio

Oh - and PAL (peer assisted learning) and shared topics with the nurses - have to do an essay for shared topics which is 20% of mark but other than that these two don't count

I don't know how I'm going to remember all those neuro words :frown:
