...and engaging to students, and to guide towards even bigger leaps as student reps. I really want to make a difference to our experience, careers and our futures as clinicians, and I can’t wait to do so alongside all my fellow reps!!

[Katie Harper - West Midlands CSP Rep @UoB_CSP_Rep]

I endeavour to work alongside my peers to create a more streamlined transitioning period to professional working for physiotherapy students both region- and country-wide. As Regional Rep, I hope to increase resources and opportunities available, make resources more accessible...

[Katie Harper - West Midlands CSP Rep @UoB_CSP_Rep]

Team-working is the beating heart of physiotherapy from the moment a student begins their academic journey until the minute a senior practitioner signs out of work for the last time.

[Katie Harper - West Midlands CSP Rep @UoB_CSP_Rep]

Happy New Years!!

I am looking forward to another year working alongside the most wonderful, hard-working and proactive community I could imagine!

A £25bn increase in health budget over 2 years in the Budget this week. But we must see investment in primary & community care in the #NHS10YearPlan or patients won’t get the support they need. Ask for NHS reforms to invest in physio at https://t.co/0a5P2eQSIu #fightforphysio
