Who we are
Our third year undergraduate Sports Therapy students are required to undertake 200-250 hours of supervised clinical placement in a sport and/or exercise related environment. At least 80-100 of these hours take place in the University’s on site clinic. The rest are undertaken at external sports teams, such as Braintree Town F.C., Ipswich Town Foundation, Billericay Town F.C. and Chelmsford Chieftains, private clinics or local sports schools and colleges.
The clinic’s main objectives are:
- Teaching support and supervision
- Regular clinical exposure to enhance student learning
The students assess, treat and undertake rehabilitation and management of sports injuries, joint and muscular pains.
Clinical practice is supervised by a Practice Educator and Clinic Supervisor who facilitate the assessment and clinical reasoning processes and enable the students to develop their clinical skills and professional practice in a clinical environment.
