First post so apologies if this is in the wrong forum. moderators please feel free to adjust,,
I am struggling to find good information regarding joining the reserves as a physiotherapy officer. The army website provides entry requirements/information on pay/benefits but no specific details on the role itself.
What would the role of a reserve physio officer entail week to week? attendance at drill nights locally and providing a clinic for other reserve members?
how often and likely is deployment? I am interested in gaining some of the experiences that the army could provide, however I am exploring the reserves as I have a very happy home life and would not want to be put on deployment for months on end away from family. I would be happy to contribute locally and provide a valuable service however it is unclear to me whether this is an option or not? I am not completely against the idea of accepting a short deployment that suits myself and the force but I would not want to put myself in a position where it is compulsory for me to leave against my will.
What support for continuing professional development will be available? the website vaguely states..
"eligible to apply for consideration in CPD for Professional Qualifications commensurate to Role within with the Army Medical Services."
thank you in advance for responses
