Week completed. IST on facilitating from supine to crook lying today then straight back to the ward and used what I learnt on a patient. Enjoying the Normal Movement Training course. Two weeks of Jury Duty now, hope I don’t forget much. 👨🏼‍⚖️

First of the monthly Band 5 meetings today, talking all respiratory and on call… good to catch up with everyone again. #lotstolearn 🤯

Very rewarding day today standing a patient up for the first time since they had their stroke.

@PhysioLauraB I’m going into third week next week and I’m exactly the same! My goal has been to take one key thing from each day no matter how big or small whether it’s a treatment technique or knowing where a file is on a computer. #wegotthis

This morning we welcomed all our new Physiotherapy starters to the Trust and introduced them to the updated preceptorship & induction programme (as well as to each other). Some good conversation and hopefully a positive experience to come, welcome to qualified life!🥳

@clinicalphysio saving the day again! Seriously good CPD / revision material before starting on the stroke ward next week! 🤌🏻

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

Great day at graduation on Wednesday! Nice to finally meet Ember the physio babba! Excited to start the next chapter at @LancsHospitals in September! Thanks again all at @UoS_Physio 🎓

Aaaannnddd breath! Great day on the Wythenshawe Virtual Physio Student Conference! Really good to see what everyone else has been up to and learn a bit from their placements too! @UoS_Physio #mftphysioconference

The first Wythenshawe Virtual Student Conference 😁🌟 Some excellent lightening talks & discussion today from our @UoS_Physio & @MMUPhysio students! Thank you all! #mftphysioconference #MSTTeamsselfie #PBL

Two weeks left at placement on the Bronchiectasis service at Wythenshawe! Very big emphasis on student learning and development here and been very grateful for the help from all the staff in different areas delivering a structured in service programme for students! 💪🏻

Give yourself time if you need it. It's okay to take a break 💚

My blood has travelled further than me this year! 🤣 #Giveblood @GiveBloodNHS 🩸

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

Saw my youngest ever patient today! Just 2 weeks old who came in with positional talipes. Still getting used to little humans! 👶🏻

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

Started this week on Early-Years and Paediatric MSK outpatients.... lots to learn! 😅

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

PBL1 complete! A fantastic experience on Ortho/Major Trauma. Observed a Hip disarticulation and whole leg amputation in theatre this week. Amazing to see the work the theatre team do for patients! @UoS_Physio #Studentphysio

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

Week 4 completed on the Ortho/Major Trauma Ward at MRI. Amazing placement and amazing staff. Grateful to be placed here. Finished the week seeing a patient walk the furthest they’ve walked since I started there. @UoS_Physio #Salfordphysio 💪🏻

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

@Ceryss_14 You got this Cerys! 💪🏻 👌🏻

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

@olympossic Thank you mate! 🙌🏼 Good luck with the final stretch of 3rd year!

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

Well it is confirmed I have no placement for my first placement block this year. A bit gutted but understandable given the current climate. No excuses now with my neuro assignment however 🤔. To everyone else who hasn’t got one, our time will come!

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

@barrettphysio Thank you Vicki! It wasn’t my group but was the following group after me, it wasn’t ideal seeing some of the responses. We are a resilient bunch at Salford and understand it doesn’t reflect on the majority! Big trust in our lecturers!

[Joseph Smith @JNSmith122]

Interesting week on Physiotherapy social media world. A timelapse of one of our practical sessions posted to show the world our learning journey being ridiculed by some qualified practitioners. This is not how to be, we need to be better. Constructive advice yes! Ridiculing, no!
