Parkside Sport Students Visit Brunel University
Parkside Sport students embarked on an educational trip to Brunel University, where they immersed themselves in a variety of practical activities and gained invaluable insights into the field of physiotherapy. The students participated in several hands-on activities designed to enhance their practical skills and understanding of physiotherapy.
These activities included:
• Blood Gas Analysis: Students learned how to measure and interpret blood gas levels, a crucial skill for assessing respiratory function.
• Reflex Testing: They practiced reflex testing techniques, which are essential for evaluating the nervous system.
• Mobility Assessments: The students conducted mobilitassessments to understand the range of motion and functional capabilities of different joints.
• Physiotherapy Resources: They explored various physiotherapy tools and resources, gaining a deeper appreciation for the equipment used in the profession. In addition to the practical sessions, the students enjoyed a comprehensive tour of the Brunel University campus.
This tour provided them with a glimpse into university life and the facilities available to students pursuing higher education in physiotherapy and related fields. The highlight of the visit was an inspiring lecture delivered by a senior physiotherapist. The lecture focused on career advice and guidance, offering students valuable insights into the diverse career paths available within the field of physiotherapy. The speaker shared personal experiences and professional tips, motivating the students to pursue their career goals with confidence and determination.
The trip to Brunel University was not only educational but also highly motivating for our Parkside Sport students. It provided them with a unique opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, interact with experienced professionals, and envision their future careers in physiotherapy. We are proud of our students for their enthusiasm and dedication during this visit. Such experiences are instrumental in shaping their academic and professional journeys, and we look forward to organizing more enriching trips in the future.
