  • Developing and reviewing treatment programmes
  • Supporting patients with joint and spinal problems, especially following surgery
  • Assisting patients' rehabilitation following accidents, injury and strokes
  • Supervision and education of junior physiotherapists
  • Reporting patient case notes and reports
