✨ Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Annual Conference 2025 - Future Directions in Physiotherapy ✨

Lots of RGU representation at this year's CSP Conference in Wales!

Principle Lecturer, Paul Moran, delivers a lightning talk on the Peer Exercise and Community Activities Placement (PECAP) model. He also has a poster on display for a recent study exploring the impact of practicing core respiratory skills on volunteer patients.

Physiotherapy Lecturer, Emma McBoyle, also has a poster on display for an MPhys research project she supervised which explored participant experiences of a student-led exercise group for acquired brain injury. Authors also include MPhys graduates who conducted the study under Emma's supervision (spot your names!).

Associate Dean, Dr. Kay Cooper, delivers a talk on her realist evaluation of models of long COVID community rehabilitation in Scotland.

Associate Deans, Dr. Julie Jones and Dr. Donna Wynne, are part of a panel for a workshop about enhancing physiotherapy education through student-led clinics.

MPhys student and CSP student rep, Maia, is also there and has been commended for the role of Student Influencer!

Great work team 💪🏻💜

It was an emotional one today as we said farewell to Victoria Park, who had her last working day with us.

Victoria has been a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at RGU for 16 years, and Course Lead for the MSc Physiotherapy programme for many of those recent years.

If you've been lucky enough to know her, you'll know she brings joy, laughter, and creativity wherever she goes. Staff and students alike will deeply miss her inspiring wisdom, warmth, and dedication to supporting the successful learning and development of our graduates.

We wish Victoria all the very best in her new adventures and creative endeavours. We look forward to keeping in touch - and to many more paddleboarding sessions, saunas and cold-water dips together!

We also love the way our current Stage 1 MPhys students marked her last official day of teaching this week - scroll to view!
