In your activities, you will work interdisciplinarily with the doctors responsible for the different sectors, the medical-therapeutic staff, and you will have occasional contact with the nursing staff specialised in the pathologies treated. In this context, you actively participate in various clinical and functional meetings where you communicate in a concise, structured, and diplomatic manner.

With the team, you prioritise your care to ensure a fair distribution and provide quality physiotherapeutic support to approximately 400 patients across the different specialties of the acute care sector. You demonstrate a reflective attitude by questioning your colleagues about the practices used and propose new ideas when the situation invites you to do so.
