Looking forward to pursuing a career as a Physiotherapist inshallah (if good wills)

Hi I am a second year undergraduate student who is interested in pursuing a career in Physiotherapy. I have just recenlty applied for a volunteering role at my local hospital and am waiting for a start date. I have a couple of questions if anyone can help me as I want to know a bit more information about this career from someone who is currently practising as a physiotherapist or is on a physiotherapy degree programme. I want to apply for a physiotherapy pre-reg course. Currently studying Sports science.

1) What kind of experience would I need and what length of experience would deem a good amount of time. For e.g. would 6 months in a health care environment be sufficient experience or would I need more.

2) Would I need experience in different sectors or would one be enough. For e.g. having relevent experience in hospital setting only, or having experience in hospital, care homes etc.

3) What is a typical day to day job like of a physiotherapist? an insight into the role

4) How can I prepare for my masters? for example any books or any resources I can read etc.

5) Anyone on a Pre-reg course, what is the course like, is it more practical based than learning or the otherway round?. Is it quite challening (is it a tough course). Please can you enlighten me with your knowledge and experience. Any tips / Advice I would most definitely appreciate.

6) Interview questions regarding masters Pre-reg applicatons:

•

Can you apply for the masters during the final year of undergraduate study or do you have to wait for your results?

•

What kind of questions do they ask you in the interview?

•

How can I prepare for my interview?. Again any websites, books, tips/avices etc. much appreciated

•

How do you apply for the course. Is it through UCAS or directly through the university website?

•

Help with personal statement. how to write an excellent and presentable one. What to include etc.

Thank you so much for your help. Really this would mean A lot to me. I will also be asking these questions from a physiotherapist once I start working but the more information received the better.

Again thank you.
