Strengths, weaknesses, barriers and facilitators, to the implementation of paediatric content were explored. Methods: A cross‐sectional online questionnaire captured entry‐level physiotherapy programme leaders' perceptions of paediatric programs. Results: Fifty‐five responses were submitted, providing a 67% completion rate. Faculty perceived that students' felt the inclusion of paediatric content within the curricula was 'Important' (Mean 3.60 ± SD 0.74). Of 30 diagnoses surveyed, only two were covered 'Well' within curriculums, despite 23 rated at least 'Important' by respondents. Of the 18 assessment/examination components, 13 were covered 'Well' with five 'Somewhat'. All were considered to be at least 'Important'. Perceived strengths were grouped into three main categories (1) integrated/lifespan approach, (2) links to clinical specialists, and (3) a broad/detailed curriculum. Perceived weaknesses included curriculum time pressures and paediatric placement availability. Discussion: The majority of paediatric conditions were only somewhat covered by UK curriculums, despite respondents in the main believing they should be an important element of the entry‐level syllabus. Some UK physiotherapy entry‐level students may not be exposed to any paediatric teaching or clinical placements. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
