Team is always very supportive. Support with time off for moving into house, wedding etc. last year was appreciated a lot. Support with goal setting personally and professionally is always good and to have a mentor give their opinion on things they’ve been through personally. Always nice to get recognised through shoutouts for something personally in huddle or on slack too!

I enjoy the frequent touch base with 1:1 sessions as well as also going through case studies or continual PD on a weekly basis which helps keep the evidence front of mind. I like that we have the ability to bring surgeons or specialists into the clinic to speak about current best practices too. I also enjoy that at times there have been personal development focuses so not always professional development but also trying to develop the person you are and not just the physio you are.
