Initially between community and inpatient rehabilitation on a care of the elderly medical ward followed by a musculoskeletal outpatient rotation. During my first rotation, I was involved in the assessment and treatment of patients both in the domiciliary setting and in the ward environment. I would also follow patients through their treatment journey initially treating them in the hospital before seeing them at home after discharge. In the community I encountered a wide range of clinical scenarios, including patients with impaired mobility, post-operative patients and patients with neurological and respiratory pathologies. This rotation also gave me experience in pulmonary rehabilitation classes and an outpatient neurology rehabilitation class. During my musculoskeletal outpatient rotation I gained experience of assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions; I was also responsible for a lower limb joint replacement exercise class and a lower limb high level rehabilitation class.

During the season I was involved in the assessment, management, rehabilitation and return to play procedures of players. I worked with all age groups from first team, U21 and U16’s. During my time at the club I successfully implemented player recovery sessions, led between myself and the first team coach. I also changed the culture of injury management, so that players were required to report injuries before and after training and match days. Subsequently I have provided holiday cover to other league teams such as East Fife FC and Arbroath FC over the last two years. Show less
