Overview
The School of Physiotherapy Student Support team are here to assist with any questions or concerns that may impact your well-being, academic progress, or overall success. We are available throughout the year for in-person support, and we also organise events designed to enhance and enrich the experience of our Physiotherapy students.
We can help you navigate challenges in your studies, connect you with academic and pastoral supports, and provide guidance on processes within the school. Whether you need advice, someone to talk to, or help figuring out the next steps, we are here to ensure you feel supported and informed. You're welcome to contact any member of the Student Support team, who will either assist you directly or guide you to the most appropriate person or service.
