Physiotherapy is a constantly evolving profession which requires practitioners to demonstrate current best practice and continued professional development at postgraduate level
The philosophy of this flexible modular course is to broaden and extend knowledge and skills in the field of cardio-respiratory physiotherapy and encourage personal and professional development
This programme is designed to provide opportunity for students to question and challenge current practice in aspects of cardio-respiratory physiotherapy and to enable students to explore in depth, areas of professional interest within physiotherapy
It also aims to enable students to evaluate evidence both for current practice and for new approaches in physiotherapy practice
The structure of the core modules meets the needs of individuals to review and evaluate the cardio-respiratory field of physiotherapy and to integrate this into their clinical practice where appropriate
The optional modules allow students to devise a programme to suit their own specific requirements in terms of professional and personal development
The Research Methods in Health module and postgraduate dissertation, together with core/optional modules such as Evidence-based Practice and Assessment and Measurement, develop the student’s research capabilities and critical evaluation skills
The School of Health & Rehabilitation is based on Keele campus and has a well-established undergraduate physiotherapy programme
It has strong connections both with local clinical units and with other Schools within the University such as the Schools of Nursing & Midwifery, Medicine, and Pharmacy
The part-time MSc programme can be completed in two years, but students may take up to five years if they wish (modular route)
