Students will usually work in pairs and will be encouraged to work with different student physiotherapists throughout their three years so that the skills and knowledge can be applied to different body types and genders. Students will take it in turn to be the physiotherapist and the service user. The student that is taking the role of service user will be required to undress down to shorts/underwear so the student that is in the role of physiotherapist can see, feel and move the service user’s body and apply a variety of physiotherapy techniques of assessment and treatment. Students will be expected to give feedback to one another during practical sessions. There is a consent process in place for practical sessions that will be provided at the commencement of study and each year thereafter. Professionalism in all aspect of the course are extremely important and students will learn about what it is to be a professional early on in the learning and teaching. Professionalism during practical sessions is pivotal as the clinical environment is being replicated and therefore consideration of themes such as health and safety and infection control will be adhered to. Students will be expected to adhere to uniform policy and for example; wear their hair up, be bare below the elbows and wear their practical uniforms
