The School is delighted to report that a revised BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy underwent a successful approval event on 14th and 15th April.  The innovative new curriculum has been designed against a landscape of significant change in health and social care.  It will educate practitioners to support the needs of a patient led NHS and develop service delivery in light of the NHS modernisation agenda.   The revised programme is founded upon project work previously undertaken in the School on behalf of the West Midlands Strategic Health Authority which developed a framework for physiotherapy education.  The revised programme will also build upon the strong foundations of the BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy which has been delivered at Keele since 1994.

The panel that reviewed the revised programme considered it to be innovative and widely owned with external stakeholders.  Panel members were also very positive in their feedback regarding the team approach and the demonstrated strength of clinical, lay advisors and student partnerships.

The programme will be implemented from September 2010.
