Many thanks Fyzzio and David for the useful replies.

David - that is helpful to know that you have managed to progress (and congrats with that). Would you say it is difficult to get onto the degree course in the first place? Did you have to demonstrate your commitment to a large extent e.g. previous voluntary work in healthcare/physio? Also, once you have the degree and some rotational experience are there many possibilities for permanent employment in NHS or private?

Thanks again.
