calling physiotherapy/healthcare students for help!!!
(Ignore my user, cant change ittt)
So I'm having an absolute nightmare trying to get some sort of work experience/shadowing. Tried to volunteer in a carehome and shadow a physio and got told I need PVG checks. Can I not just pay for the pvg check and be able to do this work experience? I'm so confused because the admissions people for the unis I wan't to apply for all recommended this? Has anyone had any luck getting work experience for healthcare professions?

Have you contacted your local hospitals for shadowing experience? Just ask for a day of shadowing as that is all that is required and hospitals are more likely to agree to this than a longer period of work experience. You shouldn't need a PVG check for this as you will be with a professional the whole time. Your work/volunteering experience can be anything public facing - charity shop, restaurant/cafe work, retail, etc. It doesn't have to be in a care setting.
