Calling all prosthetists and orthotists:

 

🤔  Have you joined the profession within the past two or three years?

 

🤔  Did you have a positive experience of being welcomed and settling into your first job  as a prosthetist/orthotist?

 

🤔  Are you willing to share your experience so we can help to ensure that others feel similarly welcomed and supported?

 

We would love to hear your experiences around: 

  • What helped you to feel welcomed and supported during the early weeks and months in your first job?
  • What was it that maintained that feeling as you became more settled and started to develop in your role?
  • What top tips can you offer to the employers and line managers of new graduates to help their new graduate recruits to flourish in their roles?
  • What are your top tips for new graduates entering the profession about how to make sure they get the support and guidance they need?

 

Employers/managers, we are also really interested in hearing how you have supported new graduates in your workplace. 

 

🤔 Are you willing to share your experience and advice? 

 

🤔 What top tips would you offer others to help them recruit, retain and develop their staff?

 

 We all have an interest in growing and developing the prosthetic and orthotic workforce.

 

Sharing what we’ve discovered and learning from each other is a powerful way of helping to achieve that goal.  

 

 If you are willing to be contacted to share your experience, please email enquiries@bapowp.axia.support on or before January 5th 2024.

 

We’ll be contacting interested parties during January and will ensure this will be as positive and painless as possible for you. Thank you in anticipation.
