Teaching and mentoring

Should a physiotherapy clinic, no matter how large or small, wish to further its PD in a specific area, MPE is able to attend your clinic and provide a tailor-made in-service for attendees.  We are happy to meet with you to assess and discuss your PD requirements.

Should a clinician wish to improve his/her skill-set in physical examination, clinical reasoning and/or patient treatment/management  in a particular area, MPE offers individual/group mentoring (ideally with a patient involved) in a supportive, non-threatening environment.  One-on-one formal mentoring is available,  either as a one-off or at weekly, fortnightly or monthly intervals.  We are happy to meet with you to assess and discuss your current clinical skill-level
