YSJ Physiotherapy Society 2021/22

WELCOME!

We are continuing on with the insta for 22/23. The committee are really excited to get the ball rolling on this year and to make it as fun as possible for you all!

Make sure to give us a follow on here and on Facebook and our twitter to keep updated with everything we have planned for this year, as well top tips and information you may need throughout the year.

In the next couple of posts you’ll be able to MEET THE COMMITTEE to see who’s running the society this year!

From tomorrow we can FINALLY start to get refunds for the 1/4 zips!!🥳🥳

I’ve spoken to Paul at the SU and if you go to the desk asking for a Physiotherapy society 1/4 zip refund they should ask you to put your card into their card reader so the money can go back into your accounts.

The SU is open between 9-4:30pm so you can pop in anytime then 🙌🏼

Thanks for being so patient with us during this whole process 😊

Thank you to all who attended Reena’s guest speaker event yesterday! And a big thanks to Reena, an inspiring Advance Physiotherapist Practitioner, who taught us the ins and outs of the shoulder and upper limb MSK, orthopaedics and ultrasound! An amazing session🤍

Biggest advice is to PRACTICE! - get examples online, look at patients on placements, ask lecturers/educators
+++ have a copy of the ‘normal’ values in your pocket at all times to refer back to

Common Vascular Surgeries - You may see these whilst you are out on placement. They are really good to be aware of on the wards and in patients medical histories. Good luck everyone in our 3rd semester 🍀💙

PLACEMENT TIPS!💙 Hi everyone, I’ve put together some tips for placement, particularly for our first years that haven’t been on their first placement yet, but this advice is still relevant from your first placement to your last one! Placement can be intense and overwhelming at times, but can also be extremely enjoyable, don’t hesitate to message our page or any of our committee members individually if you have any questions or want a chat about placement!
Hope to see you all soon 💙🤍

*COMMON MEDICATIONS SEEN IN PATIENTS WHO FALL*
This list is to raise awareness of most commonly prescribed drugs that can contribute to falls risk. It is NOT exhaustive.
This is a great source for anyone on frailty/care of the elderly placements or rotations, so save this post!!!
Look out for the next coming weeks for more great resources!!
Hope you’re all having a fab Easter 🐣 from you Pres - Han xx
