Brunel University Physiothearpy Trip
Rosedale GCSE Sport students recently enjoyed an educational trip to Brunel University, where they immersed themselves in practical activities and gained valuable insights into the world of physiotherapy. This experience allowed students to build essential skills and knowledge in a professional setting, bringing their studies to life. During the visit, students engaged in various hands-on activities designed to deepen their practical understanding of physiotherapy.
Key experiences included:
• Blood Gas Analysis: Students learned to measure and interpret blood gas levels, an essential skill for evaluating respiratory health and patient well-being.
• Reflex Testing: They practiced reflex testing techniques, a fundamental part of assessing the nervous system’s function and integrity.
• Mobility Assessments: Students conducted mobility assessments to evaluate joint range of motion and functional capabilities, which are critical for diagnosing physical limitations.
• Exploring Physiotherapy Equipment: The students also explored a range of physiotherapy tools and resources, gaining first-hand experience with the equipment they may use in future clinical settings.
Alongside these practical sessions, the students enjoyed a comprehensive tour of Brunel University’s campus, giving them a glimpse into university life and the high-quality facilities available to students pursuing careers in physiotherapy and related fields. The highlight of the visit was an inspiring lecture from a senior physiotherapist, who provided career insights and advice. The speaker shared personal experiences and professional tips, motivating students to pursue their goals in physiotherapy with confidence and determination.
This trip to Brunel University was both educational and inspiring for our Rosedale GCSE Sport students, offering them a unique chance to apply their theoretical knowledge, connect with experienced professionals, and envision their future careers in the field. We are incredibly proud of our students for their enthusiasm and dedication during this visit. Experiences like this play an instrumental role in shaping their academic and professional journeys, and we look forward to organising more opportunities to support their growth in the future.
