  4. PHTY92-419: Physiotherapy Leadership, Management and Advocacy

Description

This is an eight (8) week subject designed to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to enable the students to be strategic in their physiotherapy practice, successfully conduct and market a small business, effectively manage clinical and administrative staff and successfully advocate on behalf of individual clients, client groups and the physiotherapy profession. Students will be introduced to the importance of public health, undertake a needs analysis to inform a public health submission and develop a written business plan. Students will also project manage fundraising opportunities in small groups. An underpinning assumption of the subject is that physiotherapists are, or will be clinicians, educators, community leaders, employers, employees, managers, business owners, or any combination of these, as well as people with lives outside the physiotherapy profession. The sessions will, therefore, draw on the available evidence from the field of leadership, management, behavioural and geo-political sciences, as well as real life examples and reports.
