WELCOME TO THE UOP PHYSIO SOCIETY

ABOUT the Physio Society

We have 3 clear and simple aims this year:

• To integrate all our year groups (BSc, MPhysio & MSc) through regular activities, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. 

• Create an environment that promotes knowledge sharing. 

• Encourage student ownership of our physio society including committee and members. 

 

SOCIAL EVENTS - MORE DETAILS TO BE CONFIRMED

Sea dips!

A common favourite past time amongst physio students is swimming in the sea at the hoe or devil's point, join the group chat to find out when others are going or to suggest a swim yourself!

Monthy Hikes! 

Every month we will be leading a hike through the areas around Plymouth! More information of where we are going will be shared in the hiking group chat prior.
