Static Physiotherapist

The role involves the assessment and

delivery of physiotherapy interventions for adults across Worcestershire,

working within a busy outpatient department based in local community hospitals.

You will assess, treat, and manage a varied MSK caseload, with referrals

received from GPs, acute services in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, and

self-referrals. This caseload will include patients with acute conditions such

as fractures and post-operative presentations, as well as those with

longer-term MSK conditions including low back pain, osteoarthritis, and

tendinopathies. You will be expected, when clinically appropriate, to refer on to

other services such as Advanced Practice Physiotherapy, MDT pathways, strength

classes, and the Functional Restoration Service. You will engage fully in

supervision with senior team members and participate in our scheduled

professional activity programme.

We expect the postholder to deliver

high-quality, patient-centred care supported by evidence-based practice. You

will also have opportunities to contribute to service development, support the

teaching and supervision of colleagues and students, and play a role in shaping

future service provision.

A key aspect of the role involves

contributing to our well-established Practice-Based Learning programme for

physiotherapy students from the University of Worcester.
