Apex PD The Podcast

It might feel daunting, but picking up the phone and calling patients old and new could be the best thing you could do for both yourself and the client! Listen in to find out how.    

It is one thing to take a holiday, but it's another thing to expect to come back to a full diary. That is, of course, unless you have planned ahead! This week we discuss the implications on holidays and time off on your own diary, and also others within the business. 

This week we discuss all things product sales. This is absolutely one area in PP physio that you don't learn at uni and often causes a fair amount of apprehension and fear in young physios. The truth is, that products can make for a fantastic adjunct to treatment for your clients.  

We discuss some simple strategies to help you build your client list full of people who you love to help! 

So you have found the job of your dreams. You are one step closer, but now you need to wow your way into employment! As an undergrad and post grad student, Chelsea was very proactive in her approach to finding the perfect job for her. The combination of her personality and experience shone through across all interviews, dubbing her a VERY employable and favourable candidate. Here's just a few examples of what she did: - overseas volunteer experiences  - traveled to Bali and Costa Rica to work as a surf coach - physiotherapy receptionist paid work - paid work as soccer sports trainer - created and ran university organisation and events -  shadowed within clinics to gain more experience - competed sports trainer and pilates training - paid work as a pilates instructor within a Private Practice - maintained contact with clinicians and clinic owners who she had met along her pathway While it was over a decade ago, Amelia also had a similar experience through her university studies. This was ultimately what enabled her to also secure a private practice job in a clinic in which she STILL remains friends with her ex-colleagues. A few things Amelia did was: - hospitality work from 13 y/o through - volunteered and competed in surf lifesaving for many years - completed sports trainer and personal trainer qualifications - overseas placement opportunities - physiotherapy receptionist paid work - paid work as NEAFL sports trainer - created and ran university organisation and events - presented research findings at overseas conference - experienced 2 x spinal surgeries and the rehabilitation required for both - maintained contact with clinicians and clinic owners who she had met along her pathway In addition to this, you can also take on board some of the tips and tricks that both Amelia and Chelsea share in today's episode. Our aim is to inspire and educate you, early-career physiotherapists, to become the best practitioner we know you can be. To find out more about APEX PD, you can check out...Our Website: - www.apexpd.com.au Our Instagrams: - @apexpd- @acehealthcentre- @chels_aston- @ameliarose_sWe would also love it if you could join us on our private Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2313474085555580
