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
