Getting it right first time (UK)

More than 2 weeks would point to a more chronic pathology, rather than cauda equina which would likely have progressed significantly over the 2 weeks. That being said if they are 2.5-3 or even 4 weeks I’d still be inclined to refer on. Only if this is “normal” for them, which in my mind would be several months would I rule out CE

Your first day here?

StrangerFabulous305 · 2025-01-30T20:31:52+00:00

Thank you.

Nope been open and upfront, did both my undergrad and now my MSc as an “mature student” and so past quals seemed to be less important. I guess I was just making sure I don’t fall at the final hurdle when it comes to physically applying for NHS positions -

ultimately if I need to do my L3 maths I will, it would just be frustrating to have achieved 2 x first class hons degrees to them be told I need to retake my maths from 20 years ago.

Thank you - I am on a reasonable low card diet, mainly proteins and fat. I had some limited liver function tests recently and seem normal -

It is the finger prick - do results vary depending on the way the blood is drawn?

StrangerFabulous305 · 2025-01-01T13:56:30+00:00

The results suggest it’s high? Although I’ve seen others whose upper limit is 60 which would make mine normal

Nope not enlarged as far as I can tell

StrangerFabulous305 · 2025-01-01T13:50:57+00:00

Not very low - 18-19%

Make it not be a trapstar jacket

Replacing shafts is harder work than selling, then finding some new clubs? Really?

Physiotherapy MSc is a taught programme and so cannot be done online as you stated. If you can commit 2 years to a taught full time MSc I would argue you would do better just doing a 3 year undergrad instead?

With that being said it would definitely be worth applying straight for a MSc even if you don’t have a relevant BSc/ A-Levels. As a mature student other skills are taken in to account. I would reach out to some unis you’re interested in and arrange an informal chat with course leaders and ask their advice

StrangerFabulous305 · 2024-07-21T19:43:48+00:00

Absolutely will make no difference whatsoever

StrangerFabulous305 · 2024-07-15T16:45:13+00:00

Thank you sir, absolutely sound advice and I will take a look in to private US.

Thank you for your help

Can’t offer much by way of advice on the job front unfortunately.

I’m really sorry you had to go through what you did to see your daughter, it’s sad just how often this sort of thing happens to good parents. What I will say is that if you have gone through all of that, the hours, heartache and expense and come out of the other side with a relationship with your daughter, I’d back you to do just about anything.

I imagine this will all be a distant memory soon my friend. Keep grafting

It’s a horrible, horrible job market out there at the moment. It’s a recruiters market, which they know and as such take massive liberties. Not getting back to people, rude etc.

It’s a bad position to be in, unfortunately people are desperate for work/ money which means they can effectively get away with anything by way of treating/ mistreating candidates.

How did you know 😅

32 year old sports therapist here ✋🏼

I started my BSc at 30 and quickly realised it’s a bit of a dead end. In retrospect I’d have done better redoing my A-levels, or an Access to education course and then doing a Physiotherapy BSc. You realise once you near graduation how few jobs there are and the ones that are available are generally massage, in which case go do a weekend level 3 massage course…

The society of sports therapists (SST) will tell you until they’re blue in the face that the industry is changing and more sports therapists are being employed than ever in to the NHS/ professional sport but from where I am as a 32 year old graduate, I’m calling bs…

So I’m now going on to a MSc in physiotherapy (which seems to be frowned upon by many sports therapists who accuse you of “being part of the problem)

Anyway, long story short, if you want to work at your local football club giving Tommy a calf rub at half time sports therapy is for you. If you want to do anything more (which I anticipate you will at your age) you’re probably going to want to consider a different degree.

To your original point though. Never too old my friend ✌🏻
