Hi James. I wanted to ask your opinion on something. I’m going to be starting as a Band 3 Physiotherapy Support worker in Scotland. I’m an ambulance technician at the moment so have no direct physio experience. Just wondered about what you’d recommend to prepare. There will be internal training and there will be competency frameworks that have to be met before delegation of cases etc but thought you may have worked with some Similar people in your time and maybe what you’d like to see from someone in that role supporting you? Great content btw!

Hi,
I’d say that you will have so much transferable skills! You’ll be able to impart a lot of your knowledge in the team as well as learning lots yourself.
Your lack of Physio experience is not at all an issue. You’ll be essentially getting people moving again with the support of the qualified Physiotherapists.
