Professional Development and Management for Therapists by Elizabeth Murray

Professional Development and Management for Therapists by Elizabeth Murray

With changes taking place within the NHS, the management structure within each hospital and Trust is very different. Graduating therapy students now enter a workplace where terms and conditions vary, future career paths are not clearly mapped out and a job is not guaranteed for life. This text aims to identify and clarify management and career issues that impact on the working lives of health therapy staff. It describes the health care business as a whole (the structure and organization of the NHS) and summarizes relevant legislation and how it impacts on the workforce. It includes sections on purchaser and provider roles, models for organizing therapy services, the recruitment process, salaries and pensions, accountability, conditions of employment, mentorship, reflective practice and professional standards of practice.

This book targets students and newly-qualified therapists [and] its broad range of subjects - from getting a job and the legal aspects of clinical practice to dealing with difficult people - provides the perfect toolkit for the noviceTherapy Weekly ?In addition to the intended target audience, the book is likely to be of interest to overseas-qualified therapists who are wishing to practice in the UK or who have just begun to work here.? ?The book could be valuably housed in university libraries for use by therapy students nearing the end of their qualifying education. It would also provide a useful resource in trust or unit libraries for therapy staff.? Physiotherapy Frontline
