'Let's talk about whose role it is to prepare a student for work.' says @johnfitzphysio MACP as he discusses the importance of bridging the gap between education and practice.

Concurrent session 1 at FOCUS24 starts now. Delegates have a wide array of sessions to choose from across our three streams covering business, practice and leadership and management.

'Things are changing. We're seeing new roles, new technology and new models. I think to remain in demand, we need to stay ahead of these trends.' ~ @johnfitzphysio

'We need to be looking at different models. We need to consider the structure of physio. We need to think beyond what we're currently doing.' says @johnfitzphysio. 'As leaders in physio, we have the responsibility to drive change.'

Jess Ellison encourages the delegates to approach their businesses goals in the same breath as the practitioner goals in terms of how many patients they want to see per day. Ultimately, if your practitioners are hitting 80% of their goals, you'll be positioned well.

Next up in concurrent session 7 is APA Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist John Fitzgerald MACP with a session on establishing a successful private practice within the hospital system. Join us in Astral 1 for this one📍

I’ve been quiet on this platform this week as I had the privilege and singular honor to be invited to a very remote location in Kenya, working with the Maasai people to better understand their physiology. Why am I telling you this? 1. Because it is objectively awesome 1/

to treat many complex chronic illnesses because we truly believe that a commitment to understanding the similarities and the differences between these conditions will serve to develop better and more specific therapeutics for all of them. This categorically does NOT mean 2/

I presented our vision for health reform in Qld today and if we improve the consumer journey, made it easier to navigate, used our full scope of practice and had inter connectivity we could drive quality, safety and efficiencies! That is health reform. @apaphysio @Mark_Butler_MP
