My final thoughts for this placement were very positive. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at ASC. The physio staff there were very helpful and knowledgeable. There is ample opportunity to take responsibility for your own learning. I found the placement to be a very generic type of physio with the added spectrum of mental health. Daily tasks included musculoskeletal assessments and treatments to neurological assessment and treatment. The added spectrum of mental health added another challenge and variety to the whole placement. I believe this mental health experience has given me a very valuable exposure that not everyone will have the opportunity to experience.
My supervisors were very helpful throughout. They constantly challenged me and provided tasks to develop my learning. They were very knowledgeable so having them as a resource was extremely useful. I learnt many things whilst there, including physiotherapy techniques to building rapport with metal health patients with differing challenges to there behaviour. I believe this placement gave me a very wide scope of preparation for my last 2 placements. I think I had time to focus on areas that I needed to improve on in preparation for musculo and neuro placements. Overall I think that ASC is a very good opportunity and the physios there are committed and good role models/examples for the physiotherapy profession
