I have spoken to many people who feel it unfair that we will only recieve 25% of the mark from our final 2 clinical placements toward our final degree classification with the remainder coming from an essay and an exam. Is it not more important that we are good Physio\'s as oppose to essay writers If we at least let make our concerns known their is more chance that soemthing can be done about it. The petition can be passed on to the appropriate staff once we have some signatures.

I was just grabbing coffee with someone from the other cohort and they mentioned that the clinical staff might actually be open to a meeting if we can show them how widespread this frustration really is because honestly it makes no sense to ignore the practical side of our training while we just drill theory for exams.

I honestly cannot believe how many people have joined in on this because I really thought I was just going to be shouting into the void about these placements. It actually feels like the department might have to stop and listen to us now since so many of us clearly agree that being a good physio matters more than just passing another exam.

so true! i went into this to work with patients not to sit in a library all day. clinical skills should be the priority.

completely agree. being a physio is about hands on skills not just how well we write a paper. it makes no sense to ignore the work we do in clinics.

Ridiculous. We spend all these hours on placement just for it to barely count toward our final grade. Change this now.
