Hi Maya, I'm fighting the urge to try and prove I am currently competent in all areas, so the initial aim of my application is to show that I have shown competency in all the required areas in the last 10 years. I have limited neuro and respiratory experience but perhaps enough. I'll have to watch out for sounding too apologetic in my application.
Am doing a respiratory update course next month and spending a few days with my friend who is a respiratory physio. I'm not sure how beneficial this will be to my portfolio.
As far as research goes I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it. Any research I have done since Uni has been based around critiquing the evidence base for what I do in order to justify it (or in most cases justify not doing something). Whether this is sufficient I'm not sure.
Hope this helps.
