I am physiotherapist with over 4 years of experience in managing both inpatient and outpatient caseloads from various core specialties such as Orthopedics, neurology, cardiorespiratory and other departments such as surgery, medicine, critical care, rehabilitation, geriatrics and pediatrics. All the above experiences were gained through my current employment, previous employment and from the compulsory rotational placement which I had during my bachelor of Physiotherapy degree as well as Master degree in Sports. I read and studied through the job description and person specification of this position to ensure that I have the requisite abilities, qualities, and experiences to satisfy the core values, ambitions, and the core purpose of your organization, to its expectations. One of my core principles is to work in rebuilding a new version who is injured. Over the years I have developed my skills and knowledge in undertaking thorough clinical assessment of patients with diverse presentations, onfield assessment and physiotherapy management. I use advanced clinical reasoning, manual assessment techniques to provide accurate diagnosis, formulate goals and deliver an individually tailored treatment program based on a sound knowledge of evidence based practice. I do possess high desire to learn, develop and update myself professionally & personally through participation on CPD activities such as presentations, peer group discussions, webinars, attending workshops, conferences and discussion of recent articles. Moreover, I am an active member of the Indian Association of Physiotherapists. I am Computer literate and proficient in using Microsoft word and Microsoft PowerPoint. I also case presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint within the physiotherapy department. While documenting patient records, assessments and progress I always maintain confidentiality, privacy and follow the hospital policies. In addition to this, I use effective and innovative communication skills (verbal and non-verbal) and techniques e.g. Through negotiation, empathy and play, to motivate patients and carers who may be unwilling to participate in treatment due to psychological illness, fatigue, pain, poor cognition, terminal illness etc. I have learned to develop good relationship skills such as good interpersonal skills, communication skills with my colleagues, Care staffs and Other relevant professionals within the specialty. I am flexible at work, for instance, I cover shifts for my colleagues even on short notices and also work on on-call rota basis. I am an analytical thinker, I always identify and extract key information from a problem and develop workable solutions to resolve the problem. I am also involved in undertaking measurement and evaluation of service provision and current Practices through the use of Evidence Based Practice projects, audit and outcome Measures, individually and also along with my senior physiotherapists to make recommendations for change based on the evaluation.
My experience in various specialties has enabled me to develop stress handling skills as I maintain a calm and professional manner when dealing with service users who may behave inappropriately, be aggressive or emotionally disturbed and whilst being subject to multiple often conflicting demands. I am an analytical thinker, I always identify and extract key information from a problem and develop workable solutions to resolve the problem. I always treat my patients as I would treat myself, which is treating them with utmost care, addressing all their needs and supporting them physically as well as mentally. For example, I've learnt that it's essential to give assurance to patients when required. This not only motivates them but also helps them to co- operate to their fullest throughout the treatment plan, which in turn results in a positive outcome.
