PELS

Physiotherapy East London Society

PELS is a society dedicated to bringing all those interested in physiotherapy together. We want to enrich your student life and help you with any academic issues you might have. Throughout the year we will hold a variety of events, both academic and social, so keep an eye on our social media  for any upcoming events!

Society Objectives:

• Enrich student’s knowledge of physiotherapy via talks done with external speakers and alumni.
  • Talks with qualified physios or other health-care professionals about relevant topics of study (respiratory, MSK, NHS, etc.) 
  • Have informal talk with volunteer alumni about their experiences including but not exclusive to: UEL experience and advice, graduating, job finding and interview tips, NHS structure and success/failure stories, private practice, etc.
• Keep up to date with new and interesting research that might help with evidence based practice.
• Create new friendships with like-minded people who will help you with any concerns students might have, whether they are academic, social or otherwise.
• To create a relaxed place where the atmosphere allows students from all levels of study can interact and get to know each other.
• Plan nights out and socials as well as in-university activities (games and challenges).
• To keep students informed of new CSP/HCPC guidelines and ensure everyone is up to date with existing rules/regulations and CSP/HCPC structure/purpose/usefulness.
