Description for 2024/25

This module forms part of the MSc Physiotherapy programme at Keele which is an innovative programme of study which prepares the graduate for clinical practice in changing health and social care settings.
Transition into Physiotherapy studies provides students with the opportunity to develop their understanding of the Physiotherapy profession and develop skills, knowledge and attributes that are essential for a health professional. In addition, students will be supported in reflecting on their knowledge and previous experiences in order to identify learning needs and action plans to address gaps in knowledge relating to anatomy, physiology and movement science.

Aims
This module aims to assist students in developing their knowledge of continuing professional development (CPD) and professionalism in their preparation for practice as a physiotherapist. The module will enable students to reflect, identify learning needs and action plan, addressing gaps in knowledge relating to anatomy, physiology and movement science.
