Welcome to first Allied Health Cohort for 2023

The UCRH Multidisciplinary Health Team welcomed Allied Health students across disciplines in Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Exercise Physiology, Nutrition and Dietetics, Medical Imaging, Nuclear Radiation, Pharmacy, Nursing and Social Work throughout January.

Students arrived from the University of Sydney, University of Newcastle, University of Technology Sydney, Griffith University, Charles Sturt University and Southern Cross University.

Pictured above is the first group of University of Sydney Physiotherapy students and Griffith Occupational Therapy students undertaking an Interprofessional Education opportunity with UCRH Clinical Educator, Jennifer Hewitt, in preparation for their Residential Aged Care Facility placements.

Educators and students were given the opportunity to practically prepare using the newly purchased patient hoist, which was acquired to provide an enhanced experience for students supported by the UCRH.
