Overall, I’m definitely looking forward to my second clinical placement, especially after the Tuesday prep session and after getting in touch with the head of physio at my facility.
Being an orthopaedic in-patient placement, I’m expecting that initially things will seem pretty flat out, but I’m hoping it will settle once I get into the swing of it. With my limited experience in the area, I expect that to begin with, I will be mainly observing my supervisor and other people, and how they operate and interact with patients. However, as time progresses, hopefully I will be given more individual responsibility.
As a student, I think my main role is to learn and experience as many new things as I can and also to further practice and improve my current skills. To get the very most out of this placement I believe it will be up to me to take initiative and ask as many questions and perform as many duties as I can, which I think will be exciting, but also very challenging.
As I mentioned earlier, I am looking forward to getting started on Monday, but one concern I do have is my ability to call on my knowledge and reproduce it at the appropriate time. Obviously I don’t want to be put on the spot and not be able to answer a question or perform a technique, so this is a little scary, but I’ll just have to take it as it comes!
