“Life as an Army Physiotherapist involves much more than being a clinical physiotherapist. The work is completely different in each location. Furthermore, you often act as the Officer in Charge of the department and the military point of contact. This requires involvement in the military side of the unit and a demanding – but rewarding – managerial role. I’ve completed a month on a Hospital Ship and tours of Iraq and Afghanistan. This is an opportunity you simply cannot pursue outside the military. It’s been one of the most testing and unique experiences of my career so far.” – Major N. Rush, RAMC
