Abstract

Higher Education Institutions must adequately prepare the student for clinical practice. Specialist skills aren’t required at entry level although physiotherapists are required to meet the needs of service users throughout lifespan. There is no current standardised approach to teaching paediatric content in the UK. Global guidance on recommended and essential paediatric content for Physical Therapy entry level programs is provided by the World Confederation. A greater awareness of specialties such as paediatrics is supported by guidance from the KNOWBEST project. Entry level graduates may have a first post in a paediatric setting so require an underpinning knowledge of child development and an awareness of paediatric conditions.
