Craven Complete supports undergraduate physiotherapy students from Keele University who join us for practical training as part of their BSc or MSc degree. They become part of our team at various times through the year for 3-6 week blocks. During this time, you may be asked if you would be happy to be assessed and treated by them. 

To be able to offer this, both Barry and Lyndsay have undergone training at the university to make us practice (clinical) educators. We don’t just observe the attending students but also help them master some of the practical skills they learn in the classroom as well as teaching them additional ones! Their attendance and practice are assessed whilst they are with us, and their grade goes on to influence their final degree.

Craven Complete is one of the few private clinics to offer this service. We feel both proud and privileged to undertake the role of practice (clinical) educators for Keele University, contributing to the education of the students and providing them with practical exposure to the real world.

Whilst we are able to teach the students a great deal, we also feel we learn from them. They help us maintain professional standards as well as teaching us new concepts and techniques as they are the next generation of therapists.
