Hospital Open Day: Inspire Young Minds

I absolutely love taking my children to the Southampton General Hospital Open Day. I still remember being taken there by my Mum when I was very young and it was my experiences at the open days that sowed the seed of curiosity about working in a health care profession. My dreams were realised as I became a physiotherapist and even though my role now at goPhysio isn’t directly clinically based, my times spent working in many hospitals and different healthcare settings have left a significant imprint in my memory.

I am still moved by the differences we make to people’s every day lives through physiotherapy and am proud to be part of the profession.

The hands on activities and behind the scenes glimpses at the open day can really inspire young minds. The human body is truly fascinating and the people who do so much when it isn’t working right, for whatever reason, are amazing. Whether or not you have children to entertain, I’d thoroughly recommend adding this event to your diary.

The 2018 Hospital Open Day will be taking place on Saturday, 8 September 2018 from 10.30am to 3.30pm at Southampton General Hospital with hundreds of activities and stalls on offer throughout the day.

The Open Day is a fantastic day for all the family to find out more about the hospital and UHS, the services they provide, the amazing opportunities available and ground-breaking work taking place.

The theme this year will be Health Hero Academy through the years and give visitors the chance to not only pick up new skills and have fun, but find out more about the history of University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, as well as their plans for the future.

I had a really good visit to GoPhysio. I have had sciatica for two months and it wasn't showing any signs of improvement. Sophie gave me a thorough assessment and then provided acupuncture and ultra sound. After one visit my sciatica has almost gone. I am really pleased.

I have been attending goPhysio for about two years. As a company they are very professional and provide a very good level of service to include efficiency and courtesy and are always consistent in their approach. This very much includes the admin /reception team whom are the first people you make contact with. My Physio has excellent knowledge and has assisted me with sound advice and ongoing exercise regimes which are achievable and realistic. This has supported me well in between appointments. Although always busy I am normally able to see Roz at a mutually convenient time. Thank you to all the team
