Heya, thanks for watching. Every degree programme will be very different depending on what University you study at, however, generally speaking you will go through periods of attending lectures and then on placement. For my degree we had placements of around 7 weeks, which is basically like working full-time. Then followed by 2-3 months of attending lectures Wednesday-Friday. But again, every course will be different!

@@petermcadam cool, thanks very much for your help!

Hey, thanks for watching. There is a lot of similarities regarding the content, especially when it comes to biomechanics and physiology. The biggest difference is the introduction of more anatomy knowledge, and of the different conditions/pathologies and how to treat/diagnose them. With an MSc you're marked at level 7, so it's a deffo step up, however, if you're consistently achieving high 2:2s/2:1s for your BSc then I think you'll be fine. The biggest challenge I found was placements. You can be in a variety of different environments such as A&E, outpatient clinics, home visits etc and sometimes your placement educator might mark you harshly. In this case it's making sure you're getting your time to decompress on the weekends. Hope that helps!

@@petermcadam thank you for the reply mate, I get along with physiology quite well I struggled at first but I’ve wrapped my head around it, biomechanics I don’t understand much but that’s because the first year of uni we didn’t really go into much detail on it and then the second year I had a foreign teacher who I couldn’t really understand so I fell behind on that, currently a few marks away from a 2:1 so I’m in a decent position, I’ve heard there’s of a lot of content to cover so o imagine it would be quite time consuming.

Hi, mine was a very brief video call which mainly involved case studies, but I know that other universities offer other versions. I'm not sure if you've seen but I've made a much more recent video on this topic!

Hi, apologies that I've missed the opportunity to reply to you before your interview. I hope that it went well! I'm afraid that all the useful tips I know of were mentioned within this video. I think that it's definitely worth applying. Some universities have loose guidelines depending on what other areas you can bring to the table. Let me know if you have any other questions though!

Happy to help, best of luck!

Good luck! Mines this week too

@@aab7610 good luck dude, which uni is it for?

Thank you man, I’ve got a few coming, my next one is with Essex this monday !

@@aab7610 how did you do? could you share some qns may be?

@@ajaykhapung5770 Hi, to be honest, generally across the interviews I could have been much better prepared! But thankfully I got a place! I would suggest always knowing why you want to be a physiotherapist and why the university you're applying for. Furthermore to be familiar with the NHS values and how you have demonstrated them in your previous experiences. Reflect on what your core values as an individual and this can be related to how they will reflect on your work as a future healthcare professional. Be familiar with EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) and be able to reason the importance of these principles. Understand current challenges of the NHS and how the career as a Physiotherapist is developing. Utilise previous experiences related to Physiotherapy (STAR examples are good for structure). You may be asked questions related to pathophysiology, dependent on the university. Lastly you may be asked scenario questions, I believe they use this to get an idea about your character, assessing how you manage challenging situations. I hope this helps!

My pleasure, pal. Glad you found it useful!

I am sorry that I haven't responded to this in time. I recently started work as an MSK physiotherapist so I've been pretty busy with that! When you say MMI, I presume you mean multiple mini interview. Unfortunately because of COVID at the time, none of my interviews have been in that format. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Best of luck with you interview!

Hi1 I have my interview comming up with them as well. could you share how you did?Im new as well to MMIs.

@@ajaykhapung5770 Hii! Im planning try out clearing for physiotherapy would you mind sharing the type of questions you were asked?

That's amazing! I'm happy to hear that you were offered a place. All the best with your studies!

Thank you, all the best!

Happy to help. Best of luck!

how did it go bro

⁠@@Ambient_Emotion it was good . I got offer letter from university

@@sakshibhamnia1082congrats 🎉 I did mine today In a group hopefully I get it 😂

@@Ambient_Emotionhoping for the best 😅

Thank you for offering your insight. It's important for viewers to make informed decisions from multiple perspectives.

Hey! Considering the difficulty of the course is quite varied depending on the person/University, I think the best way to answer your question is to refer to what most courses expect of you. A full-time course expects you to essentially treat it as a full-time job, whereby, you invest around 37.5 hours a week into your course. This will include lectures, placements, assessments, and your own reading. In all honesty, I probably put more hours than this in, but I don't think it is necessary! Good look with your applications and let me know if you have any questions!

@@petermcadam thank you so much🥹🫶

It sounds like the supply and demand of S&C coaches is still unbalanced. I wish Universities were more transparent regarding job prospects. I'm glad you have found a career path that meets your needs!

@@petermcadam thank you

Why were you toying with the idea if you don’t mind me asking? You must have been interested in working in sport. I have those qualifications and work in football, and I earn more than 25k. Alot more infact. 25k is a graduate salary. I got into football because I love football. I love getting up in a morning and going to the performance centre, going to matches and seeing our players flourish. I couldn’t care less about how much i’m paid and I never have. I have made money on property. If you want to earn big money right from the start, do a medical degree and go into dentistry or something. I would just rather go to work and love my job.

@@Tyke0489 yes I enjoyed working in sport, but I approached it as a mature student, so I had bills to pay, so the money meant more to me than you. It’s great that you’ve made money on property, well done you, and you can go and work and not care about the money. But not everyone is in the same position. So I chose a profession where I could make more money than the football clubs were offering. I still have an interest in sport but I’m not one dimensional, I have other interests aswell.

@@Tyke0489 also, if you hadn’t earned money from property and this was your sole income, you’d definitely care about how much you get paid. If you don’t mind me saying, you sound very pompous.

Glad you found it useful!

I'm happy to help! Best of luck for your interview! Absolutley. I think if you have any clinical experience, then that would arguably be more relevant to mention first. However, there are many transferable skills from your time personal training, that would be useful as a physiotherapist e.g. anatomy & physiology, interpersonal skills, exercise prescription etc. Hope that answers your question!

@@petermcadam thank you Peter 👌

Yep, it's rough for Strength & Conditioning coaches! I'm glad I switched career, but I really hope the S&C industry improves how they treat employees. Unfortunately this is the result of a skewed supply and demand!

Hiya, the main books my course recommended are below. - Physical management of neurological conditions by Sheila Lennon - Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy: Adults and Paediatrics by Eleanor Main - Anatomy and Human Movement: Structure and function by Roger Soames I've linked what I think are the main neurological, respiratory, and MSK book. Hope this helps. The best resource for students in my opinion is "clinical physio" though!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, and likewise!

Glad you found it useful, pal. Unfortunately I can't remember all the points I made from this video since I made it a while back, I plan do to an updated video on this topic in the near future. The majority of my points that I make are my interpretation of the document that I linked in the description, which should hopefully have references. Sorry I can't be of more help. If you need the references for an assignment then you could look at pros and cons for leadership in healthcare/medicine in general and apply it to your project!

@@petermcadam I think I found where you got stuff from after reading. Did a presentation on the framework and they said it was excellent so cheers for making it interesting and easy to understand because I had a mini breakdown when they told me what I needed to do for radiography promotion. Cheers again. Il subscribe and keep an eye on your work

Ah amazing to hear! And much appreciated!

Happy to help! Great idea, I'll deffo talk more about switching from S&C to physiotherapy in the future and how I feel about it once I've finished my Masters!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you found it useful! Best of luck!

Happy to help!

Thanks dude. Hope everything went well!

How did it go?

@sanjays7819 amazing. I got in thankfully omw to become a phyiso🤞🏻

@@haadi1098 congrats man! I’ve got my interview (MMI) on the 20th of this month for the MSc. I’m currently working as a physio tech, have you got any advices for me?

@sanjays7819 oh I've just started my bachelors. So idt you need any advice from me😭 but hey good luck tho

Much appreciated my dude!

Thank you, glad you found it useful!

Thank you for the compliment, and apologies!

Thanks my dude!

Love it! Glad it helped!

Thanks my G

What course are you referring to specifically? This video was designed for multiple different clinical and healthcare staff from a range of professions.

Hi, thank you for the comment. I think that would mainly depend on whether the Physiotherapy programme that you did in India is approved by the HCPC or not. My advice would be to email education@hcpc-uk.org and ask them. Otherwise if you go on the HCPC website and look for the 'education' link, you can find out if your programme is approved by the HCPC. I'm afraid I do not know much more than that. All the best!

Brilliant! Glad you found it useful.

Brilliant! I wish you all the best with your Physiotherapy journey!

Good luck with your degree! Glad you found the video useful.

Happy to help. Glad you found it useful. Hope you interview went well!

Glad you found it helpful. Awesome, hope it goes well!

Heya dude, I haven’t heard much about them specifically for S&C but I think doing some research about what kind of facilities they have, the reputation and experience of their S&C staff, and also the sports teams the uni has connections with would be a good start. Best of luck with everything S&C!

Thank you buddy!

Glad you enjoyed it man!

Great! Best of luck! I’m sure you’ll do great. Regardless of your previous experience the course will want you to do your rotations in different environments/specialties. I think it’s great that you have an idea of what you would like to do once you graduate, however, it’s very common that people end up changing their mind once they get experience in different areas. Therefore, my advice would be to express an interest in MSK if that’s what inspires you, but say that you’re also open to trying placements in other areas to get a broad experience of healthcare. MSK if my favourite part of physio too, however, I’m open to the fact that I might change my mind. Hope that answers your question.

@@petermcadam interview went so well! They told me I’ll definitely be receiving an offer :) They said I ticked every box and more wooo

No way! Well done man!

Congratulations mate. I have my interview coming up. Do you mind me asking what questions they asked?

@@wow3529 would you mind to share what type of questions they asked?

Glad the tips were useful. Best of luck, I'm sure you'll smash it!

It can cause hair loss yes, but it mostly depends on your genetics/the hair follicles on your scalp. Creatine is likely to increase a hormone called DHT which can cause hair loss in men, however, only if your hair follicles are susceptible to DHT, hence why some men go bald in their 40s and some don’t.
