Mental Health Physiotherapy

[oscar]

I'm a final year physio student and did a 6 week placement in a psychiatric hospital...I found the placement very stimulating too and nothing like I expected, it certainly challenged me in more ways than I thought it could and opened my eyes up to this field of physio People said to me that i would learn a lot of non-physio skills and that was certainly true!

Im going for an interview for a junior job in mental health tomorrow and have been trying to get some background reading done. What ive read really interests me and although its not a common student placement, I would really like to get into this field. So fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Since my earlier post I'm now a junior physio, currently on rotation in mental health. I'm really enjoying it so far...and am glad I had the opportunity as a student to work in the area, it's a really interesting field to be in!

Good luck in your interview emma!
