Committed to CPD

It has been identified that allied health professionals and members of other related disciplines may require both academic accreditation and flexibility when seeking continuing professional development (CPD). Our postgraduate courses endeavour to fulfil these needs within the field of physiotherapy and/or pain management. These flexible courses are available as a part-time or full time option, or modules can be taken as independent stand-alone programmes of study.

The philosophy of these flexible modular courses aims to broaden the knowledge, understanding and encourage personal development. It is also about fostering greater insight into how different disciplines, through a programme of shared learning and teaching, can contribute to this aim.
