Prosthetics and Orthotics 2012

Hi! Has anyone else applied for P&O yet? I applied in November but I haven't heard anything yet, although from my understanding the admissions officer has said he doesn't send out offers until the end of January.

Hey, I'm starting P&O this Sept. Does anyone know how busy we're gonna be? I mean anything about the lectures schedule, etc..?

Cause i live in Sheffield at the moment, dont know which would be better, to commute every day, or to rent a room there... :rolleyes:

Yeah I'm pumped and ready to go! But it'll probably be kinda weird for a while, leaving home and settling in...

On the website it mentions 25 contact hours a week - but a logic that is supposed to be clinical or practical.

I live near Burnley and I will be commuting in every day

I'm also starting P&O at Salford in September and went to look round yesterday, Joe (the tutor) said it would be around 30 hours of contact time a week! Really looking forward to it though :biggrin:

Joe told me closer to 35 :confused:

Maybe it depends on certain situations?

The way he made it sound, 17 hours of clinical work and 17 hours of workshop
Should be great fun though :P

Its pretty vague though, its for the whole of the life sciences department, dont know what books are specifically for p and o or how to filter it.
