Student engagement at DHEZ
Developing student skills to improve health outcomes
The DHEZ provides opportunities for students to develop professional experience by putting their learning into practice in our facilities.
This includes our public-facing eye and physiotherapy clinics and other placements and projects with our partner organisations.
More details below, including a case study where Plaster Technicians at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust connected with students and graduates from the University of Bradford to create an award-winning health innovation.
Physiotherapy clinic
The Physiotherapy and Sport Clinic provides a full range of services to staff, students and members of the public within a teaching environment. All clinics are staffed by second and final year undergraduates under the supervision of experienced Physiotherapists and Sports Rehabilitators.
The Physiotherapy and Sport Clinic strives to produce Physiotherapists of the future by exploring ways to enhance the services offered. The physiotherapy team at DHEZ, will be integrating telehealth (using video for virtual health services) into its broader physiotherapy approach and, as part of a larger research team these services will involve more digital developments as they become available.

The two bedroom house built within the Phoenix South West Building is a perfect place to test digital health prototypes in a 'real life' environment for industry or the health sector.
