Physiotherapy

University of Sunderland

**Study human movement and function. Learn how to prevent and treat disease, injury and disability. Become a future leader in the healthcare profession.**Physiotherapy is recognised as a healthcare profession where human movement and function are viewed as central components of individual health, wellbeing and quality of life. Physiotherapy uses physical approaches in the prevention and treatment of disease, injury and disability recognising that physical, psychological, social and environmental factors may limit movement and function. The course content is person-focused, in line with the direction of the profession. We aim to develop well-rounded, safe and effective physiotherapists who can communicate appropriately to service users, carers, peers and other healthcare professionals. By promoting the integration of science and practical-based knowledge and skills, we aim to develop graduates capable of practice at the highest level within all areas of the profession, who also develop essential skills for continued and lifelong learning to enhance service delivery and become future leaders.**This course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and is accredited by the The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).**
