**Physiotherapists play a vital role in enabling people to maximise their health, wellbeing and quality of life through movement, exercise, manual therapy and education.**<br/><br/>Our course will result in you being able to register with the Health and Care Professions Council and enter this exciting professional career as a qualified Chartered physiotherapist.<br/><br/><br/>- Accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP).<br/><br/><br/>- All eligible home students on this course can apply for a minimum payment from the Government of £5,000* per year, with additional payments for students incurring childcare costs<br/><br/><br/>- State-of-the-art teaching facilities including mock wards with interactive manikins, operating theatre, community houses, sport and exercise environments*.<br/><br/><br/>**Key Course Benefits:**<br/><br/>Our Physiotherapy BSc (Hons) course is designed to provide you with the skills, knowledge and experience required to be a safe, effective physiotherapist that will not only make a difference to individuals throughout their life but also to wider society in a variety of healthcare contexts.<br/><br/>The physiotherapy programme allows you to develop problem-solving skills, enterprise and resourcefulness to respond to the dynamic healthcare environment. Your learning experience will support you to adopt the professional values and behaviours expected of a physiotherapist - working respectfully within a multidisciplinary team, providing healthcare underpinned by current evidence and placing the clients in the centre of the therapeutic process.<br/><br/>As a professionally accredited course, it is designed to prepare you academically, professionally and personally for a successful career as a chartered physiotherapist. You will develop a wide range of practical and academic skills in contemporary physiotherapy with multiple opportunities to develop your clinical skills through practice-based learning – a total of 1,120 hours completed over the course of five clinical placements*– in which you will participate in physiotherapy practice under the supervision of a fully qualified, experienced physiotherapist. This is well in excess of the minimum hours required by the CSP.<br/><br/>The course not only provides you with an academic qualification but also a professional status, as the course is accredited by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and enables you to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) (additional costs may apply).<br/><br/>A distinctive feature of our course is that your skills development and essential learning takes place in your first year prior to clinical placement. This foundational learning occurs in our state-of-the-art Alison Gingell Building, allowing the use of authentic simulation experiences to put your learning into context in a supportive environment prior to your first placement. <br/><br/>The multi-million-pound Alison Gingell Building provides facilities for teaching and research, featuring hospital simulation, interactive manakins, community houses, rehabilitation, clinical skills training, sport and exercise environments.<br/><br/>You’ll have the opportunity to attend guest lectures led by experts in their fields and employers in large NHS trusts, private practice, industry and sport (subject to availability). Previous speakers have included the Head of Sports Medicine at WBA FC, and Karen Middleton, Chief Executive of the CSP.<br/><br/>It is acknowledged that working as an allied health professional requires emotional intelligence, resilience and a dedication to lifelong learning. Throughout the course you will be supported in your personal and professional development in order to meet these demands. This will allow you to develop strategies to protect your own personal health and wellbeing as well as identify opportunities to flourish in your career.<br/><br/>*For further information please check the course page on the Coventry University website.
