@physiotalk The biggest obstacle I faced (having already volunteered abroad in Niger) is the financial aspect of paying your own way. For some it is a big ask. #physiotalk

@Larita_gc @physiotalk how did you begin your search for the volunteer opportunity? #physiotalk
Fabio @fabietlosabe
@physiotalk In terms of volunteering, lack of opportunities and existing structures to share knowledge/skills in an organised way. #physiotalk

@physiotalk Definitely help in my opinion! I've been supported with a career break from my trust at @LTHTPhysio to volunteer in Madagascar from next week for 3 months and feel that the skills I bring back from this will benefit my future career prospects immeasurably #physiotalk

@physiotalk Hey! Hi #physiotalk
Maral Shahi, PT, DPT @Maralhasanshahi
@physiotalk Yes! I believe so. There is a paper that beautifully explains how it does. I am going to share the title in my next tweet. #PhysioTalk

@Larita_gc @physiotalk It is overwhelming for sure! trying to narrow down the experience you are after can help. Consider the length of time / specialist area / country / language skills. @ADAPT_CSP have a buddy system to speak to people who have volunteered / worked internationally #physiotalk

Check out our buddy system, it's a great opportunity to get advice and network with others working in areas you are looking to go to #physiotalk

@physiotalk For personal and professional development I think it is undeniably helpful. Its how you frame it to future employers when back home. of course its not without its challenges but can't help feel we have a global responsibility to share skills and learn from others #physiotalk

@physiotalk I think working abroad will be a boost to my career in my home country. There are alot of knowledge, experience and exposure to be gained from such undertaking. And most importantly, I can use the acquired knowledge in improving the patient care in my home country #physiotalk

@physiotalk I had a brief experience in India in 2014 and it was very possitive from both perspectives. I think it could be potentially beneficial for your career in the UK althought maybe not for climbing up the ladder. Maybe the same in Spain althought the system is different #physiotalk

@_caphie @physiotalk absolutely! I think its important for shaping the profession as a whole. There are many countries where physiotherapy is not recognised as a profession. The @WCPT have interesting statistics on countries physio profiles #physiotalk

@physiotalk I've a couple of months left in my training as a physiotherapist after which I can spread my wings and fly as high and far as I want #physiotalk
Maral Shahi, PT, DPT @Maralhasanshahi
@LukeStevens_93 @physiotalk We had a Cultural Competency module as a part of a course in @Duke_DPT , which was eye-opening. This paper is a part of the readings. #PhysioTalk

@physiotalk Do you think general broad experience or specialist skills? #Physiotalk
Fabio @fabietlosabe
@physiotalk MDT, service planning and teaching/education maily in neurology and pediatrics. In terms of hands on rehabilitation, I spend half of my week in a hydro pool doing neurorehab🐳 #physiotalk
Qifayah @_caphie
@physiotalk I'll prefer to volunteer in a clinical setting as this will be mutually beneficial to both the system and myself. I feel I've to have absolute confident in my clinical skills as a physiotherapist before exploring other options #physiotalk.
kate 💜 @kate_mattick
@SamuelOgunkoya @physiotalk They are certainly options! We have a global ageing population and strokes care can be very limited. In many countries there is no follow up or input at all. #Physiotalk

@physiotalk It makes it challenging but it also demonstrates to the organisation you are approaching your commitment. Many established organisations offering paid employment have this as a requirement - work is competitive and hard. Its the same with other health professionals #physiotalk

@physiotalk If the work is voluntary it is less likely an organisation will expect you to have previous experience in my experience #physiotalk
Qifayah @_caphie
@Larita_gc @physiotalk Thank you Larita, I can't wait to explore the opportunities the world have got to offer #physiotalk
Fabio @fabietlosabe
@Larita_gc @tweetmariag @physiotalk I can see the point in needing “experienced” professionals to respond inmediately to emergencies but it is also true that at some point you start to earn that exp. True also that the younger the less likely to have other commitments and more able to move overseas #physiotalk
kate 💜 @kate_mattick
@physiotalk This could be the international experience we spoke about in the previous question. If you do the placement it could open up new opportunities, one may lead to the other #physiotalk
Claire McIvor @clairemcivor4
@bendotellis @kate_mattick @physiotalk I think it's always important to listen to what the local staff request help with and then continually think about how you're leaving skills using the 'train the trainer model'. #physiotalk

@carolinewrighty @physiotalk There are definity plenty of great experiences in the UK but if your priority is to work or travel abroad in the future then it can open up new opportunity #physiotalk
Qifayah @_caphie
@physiotalk I considered this choice while scouting for a place for my clinical internship. In the end I concluded it wasn't cost effective to spend all that money (which is really huge when converted to Nigerian Naira ) on a two weeks placement #physiotalk
Fabio @fabietlosabe
@physiotalk I would be very interested in getting to know the ethics and the mission behind this companies, are they after placing people where ther is need or is there any other interest behind? I have not heard of this before #physiotalk
Claire McIvor @clairemcivor4
@physiotalk I chose not to go with a larger organisation during my month in Tanzania as a student, and have organised my work this year independently too. Both have risks vs benefits but I think the skills learned from finding your own placements are really useful and fun too! #physiotalk
kate 💜 @kate_mattick
@physiotalk An important factor to consider is the ethics of the organisation - where is your money being spent, are the interventions and projects sustainable, how will they support you to be effective and learn #physiotalk

@physiotalk I think both the therapist and the organisation is missing out.Not having an international work experience doesn't mean you're not competent or don't have the skills to carry out your task. The therapist will miss out on learning from other's experience #physiotalk
