Physiotherapy, 123, e220–e221. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2024.04.27610.1016/j.physio.2024.04.276https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14709/105Purpose: Newly qualified physiotherapists (NQPs) are new to Nuffield Health and often not employed in the independent sector due to differing workforce structures, service needs, and patient/insurer expectations. Nuffield Health introduced NQPs to diversify its workforce, meet increasing work demands and create development opportunities for the wider physiotherapy cohort. Prior to the employment of NQPs Nuffield Health created a preceptorship programme and learning materials to help early development. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of the NQPs within the first 6 months of employment.enPhysiotherapyPrivate health careCSP2023: 418 - A phenomenological exploration of the newly qualified physiotherapist lived experience within the independent sectorConference Abstract
