Final Entry- 3rd Placement

This placement definitely lived up to my expectations. I was exposed to a whole variety of things which has allowed me to get a good grasp of all the things women's health incorporates as well as some aspects of what the paediatric physios do too.

The lecture material from uni was a good basis to start from, but as I expected most of the information was taught at KEMH and picked up along the way. I got so much out of the tutorials and really valued the time that I had with the tutors. I was especially grateful for the time I spent with the uro-gynae consultants. I sat in on their appointments in the clinic as well as watching multiple surgeries and also observing urodynamics. Having this extra exposure really helped me develop the bigger picture for these patients we were seeing on the ward and in outpatients.

A basic level of understanding was expected from my supervisors but it was obvious that a lot of this information was new to us. In that respect they were always willing to explain or elaborate on anything which was new to me or that I may not have fully understood.

Overall, I feel that I have learnt a lot on this placement and that this experience may have steered me in the direction of wanting to pursue a career in the women's health field!
