Connect Health has developed partnerships with a range of universities, helping to provide to our comprehensive MSK Mentorship Programme, whereby physiotherapy students are offered training, mentoring, and professional development whilst studying for their degree collaborative research and innovation opportunities.

Student Placements

During Covid-19 we put in place a Virtual Student Placement programme in partnership with Brunel University, King’s College London, and St George’s University. 

We have now returned to in-clinic only student placements which are organised directly with higher education institutes (HEIs). Please ask your HEI if they send students on Connect Health placements if you are interested in coming on a placement with us.

To find out how we set up the programme, and to help set up your own, take a look at our blog:
