This two hours Update session is for Physiotherapy Practice Educators who need to complete the required two yearly Update session to continue to meet the requirements of their practice educator qualification.

The Update session is aimed at practising Physiotherapy Practice Educators registered with the HCPC and working within NHS Trusts, or organisations from the private/voluntary sectors. The Physiotherapy Practice Educators will be working with physiotherapy students on their practice learning experience placement from Sheffield Hallam University.

Please ensure that your Team Manager is aware that you will be attending this Update session.

Continued self-directed learning

For members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, there is a lot of very useful and practical information on their website under Members Resources.

How the update sessions will be delivered

If you will be attending an Update via a webinar and at your place of work, please try to find a quiet space and use headphones so you can concentrate without any disturbances.

You can receive a certificate of attendance shortly after the completion of your Update session, this is for your records, and for your Team Manager, as evidence of your CPD and continuing status as a Practice Educator.

PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE EDUCATOR COURSE

The Physiotherapy Practice Educator course is for qualified, practising Physiotherapists who want to be trained as Practice Educators. Their registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) needs to be active. The course is divided into:

Day 1 - Introduction theory to the role of a Practice Educator (full day and can be attended either face-to-face on campus or online)

Student placement to gain practice learning experience - minimum of six weeks. The Physiotherapist needs to arrange the placement via their department manager and the student placement coordinator for their site/organisation. It is recommended that you start the arrangement process for a student placement as soon as it has been confirmed you are booked on Day 1 of the course.

Day 2 - Further theory and a peer review of your reflections of your student placement to complete the course.

Day 1 and Day 2 are separated by six months during which it is anticipated that you will have been able to work with a physiotherapy student on placement.

You will receive an electronic workbook to use throughout the entire course before Day 1 and you should save it in a location where you can get easy access for the training days, recording your reflections of your student placement, and for any personal notes. It is recommended during your student placement that you frequently refer to your workbook and add any pertinent notes.
