Interview for physio

2 replies

DD has a few interviews for physiotherapy coming up. Any heads up about what sort of questions she might get asked, apart from why she wants to study it? Are they likely to ask job interview type questions like give an example of when you were xyz? We are isolating atm and still will be when she has the interview so school won't be able to help much.
Thanks

I'm not a physio, but I am on interview panels for students from other allied health professions from time to time.

I would want to know how much she understands about the role of the physio and how that role fits into a wider MDT.
She might also get asked about her understanding of issues facing the NHS eg how has Covid affected physiotherapy?......so things like; some physios were redeployed to inpatient units, also some out patient rehab was stopped, so those patients will still need treating and may have worsened in the meantime. Elderly patients have suffered during lockdown and may be less fit and more anxious/depressed than previously. People may be generally less fit due to lockdown, making rehab harder.
Does she appreciate that most physios work within the NHS and that she will most likely be getting an 80year old back on their feet after a hip replacement, rather than working for a premier league football team.

Physio is quite a stressful occupation , she may be asked how she would cope with stress.

Could be questions on the NHS constitution, as well as around multi disciplinary working
