I copied this off another thread, not even sure if it is was this website

Entry to physiotherapy courses is very competitive, with pre-entry experience being advantageous. Previous experience of work-shadowing a physiotherapist, voluntary work in a health or care setting, or working as a physiotherapy assistant strengthens your application. In addition to experience, candidates need to show evidence of:

good communication skills;
ability to work in a team - regularly liaising with other professionals, such as doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, teachers and social workers;
pragmatic problem-solving skills;
initiative, patience, sensitivity and tact;
excellent organisational and administrative skills;
the ability to be firm, encouraging and empathetic;
the ability to establish a rapport with patients and their families.
a genuine concern for the wellbeing and health of patients;
a real interest in anatomy and physiology.
When applying for a physiotherapy course, admission tutors also want to see that potential students have researched the profession, with a good understanding of the role.

Discrimination on the basis of age is now illegal and a considerable proportion of mature students have traditionally entered physiotherapy. Approved access courses are accepted for entry to physiotherapy degrees.

There has recently been a major shortage of opportunities for newly qualified physiotherapists. Most recent graduates have had to accept temporary contracts or find imaginative ways of starting their career, such as casual work as a 'bank' physiotherapist, voluntary work, working abroad, taking a gap year, the Territorial Army, entering private practice earlier than normally recommended, and postgraduate study and research. Some have taken up other posts such as therapy or physiotherapy assistant, teaching assistant (physiotherapy), educational support worker and care assistant. Although it appears that the situation is now improving for newly qualified physiotherapists, it is still crucial to market your specific skills to targeted organisations

Hope that helps but I have another question myself I hope that someone can answer. I've seen in a lot of forums on the topic people mention voluntary work being advantagous but I was wondering what type of voluntary work in particular, is it hard to come by and where to apply for it?

I'd really appreciate help on this.

Thanks
