Hello all,

i am currently a third year student at the University of Brighton...i found myself being more interested in biomechanics and therefore i will continue my studies, doing master in biomechanics and in particular podopaediatrics....

i would like to have an opinion as to were should i have my working experience...NHS? Private? and if its NHS are there specific places i should look for???


Thanks in advance...
Nina

 

Hello Nina,
And welcome to the Arena

:welcome:

personally I don't think it matters where you do your work experience provided you can find someone to mentor you in your particular field of interest.

There is a chap who posts on this forum called Robert Isaacs who is an NHS specialist pod in Podopaediatrics. If you send him a pm I am sure he can advise you better than I can.

Good Luck !

regards

Hi Nina,

I got a feeling you already know our Robert. Don`t worry, I won`t mention any Youtube links or anything like that

Personally, I found more podopaediatric work came my way whilst working for the NHS. It`s also the best place to start post grad, IMO.

Cheers,
Bel

 

Thanks both of you for the replies...

Indeed i know Robert...I had 4 amazing weeks in Maidstone....i chose to have my placement there and i think it was not just a coincidence that Robert was there..i will apply for job there however i dont think they have spare places there....you never know though...

Do you have in mind anybody else that specializes in podopaediatrics ?

 

Nina,

There is a specialist paediatric centre in Kent (just a bit North of Maidstone). Probably* not the most desirable location to live in, but great experience if that's the field you are interested in. Sally Smillie is on the arena and may be worth sending a PM to. She's the lead clinician there at Medway PCT/Child Development Centre.

Ian

*definitely

 

Thanks a lot Ian...i will try to contact with her....

If you hear about anybody else, would you please let me know?

Thanks for your interest...

Nina
