An informative chat here with Pierre on the outlook for allied health graduates and anyone looking for private practice, aged care, community and hospital jobs. I’m looking forward to getting Pierre and the team at ACM on more often for regular job market updates… if you are looking for locum, FT or PT work anywhere in Australia get in contact with the ACM team.

I thought I'd share some learnings taken from my own experience with the application process as well as the advice of some most excellent guests on the podcast...written applications for hospital and community jobs can be a sometimes frustrating process. It is made easier with a bit of planning prior to job season and of course always keeping in mind the person on the other side of your application...

A big thankyou to Chung for a great reflection here on physio after 6 years –  Chung has taken the road less travelled and has private practise and aged care locum experience under his belt. He introduced me to the idea of locums in the beginning and is a friend I often catch up, compare notes and run over ideas with. Some great thoughts here on working in professional sport, longevity and the 4 day work week, best moments in physio and of course locums…

I hope you enjoy this discussion with Roma Forbes on how to succeed on placement and a discussion why 5-15% of students do fail a placement over the course of a physiotherapy degree. Roma is a teaching focussed lecturer at The University of Queensland and a titled msk physio. She has completed a PhD in the area of how to train students to be effective patient educators.

She has also been a clinical educator of final year physiotherapy students for the last 12 years in New Zealand and Australia. Her current research focuses on graduate readiness for practice and the transition of students from the classroom to clinical placements and then out into the workforce.

Really enjoyed chatting with Tom who is a senior lecturer and OT at the University of Canberra. I found this talk of great reassurance - Tom is a unique lecturer in that he often posts graduate opportunities on facebook and is active on twitter with his discussions around his research on patient focused care (as opposed to service focused) and interdisciplinary learning and teaching...

Tom has some great ideas regarding future changes to OT and Physio programmes on how they assess students and he has also sat on multiple hiring panels in the public health system and gives some great advice regarding interview preparation and common interview questions for public health jobs ... A great talk from a much admired educator at UC! Check out his twitter here ... https://twitter.com/TcBevitt

A big thanks to Baldwin for jumping on talking through how to land a locum job as a new graduate physio...

It has been a tough time for all following the current restrictions and lockdown but all indications point to private practises, hospital, community and aged care are beginning to advertise vacancies again for allied health professionals - early career and otherwise, and especially outside of the capital cities.

Living and working in the UK is on the to-do list for most allied health professionals... a big thank you to Samantha for outlining exactly how to get started, what to consider and the key steps in this 6 month long process. It is important to note that there are so many opportunities in the UK for all disciplines and across many clinical areas. Even in light of the current COVID-19 lockdown in the UK - Physio, OT and speech pathologists are still working and in demand....
