1. On the whole, i'm pretty nervous starting clinical placement at fracture neck of femur ward. I think this is mainly from the things I'ver from previous students have gone there. I'm also quite excited, I think this is a mixture of it both being a new experience and the fact I don't have proper uni for 5 weeks. Previous students that went to the same placement have mentioned that they were thrown into the deep end so I am a little apprehensive but also think this will probably be beneficial for my learning. The main concern is the depth of knowledge that is expected, even though my placement is pretty specific I will need to brush up on the all the aspects of physio involved in a hospital setting. I hope to improve my professional skills with communication, goniometry, transfers, gait aid prescription and education and exercise prescription.
2. Due to the hospital setting I believe there will be a high integration of health care professionals including an OT, nurse, physiotherapist, possibly surgeon for check ups, social worker. I think the team will be working together to achieve an effective recovery form surgery of the patient and an early discharge. As functional mobility and medical stability are high priority for discharge the physio will be very important in chest physio and getting the patient out of bed and walking as soon as possible.
