reflection- clinical placement

I really enjoyed my clinical placement and felt that it really helped improve my confidence in terms of manual handling and communication with patients. I think the most important thing I have learnt from this unit is how to apply theoretical knowledge to a real situation. I realised no matter what theory you may learn, in a clinical setting you often have to make modifications according to the situation that you are presented with and you will come across many different people and problems that sometimes you may not know how to handle. I also learnt about the importance of effective communication and collaboration with other health professionals and how this communciation can aid what you do as a physio. You can also learn a lot from other professionals!
