SOPHIE LEW

“Plans day and prioritises well. Great at screening lists. Excellent application of intervention and education to patients. Independent in decision making re. progression of patients intervention. Discharges patients at an appropriate time and often considering d/c with patients in every review. Overall fantastic performance for a first placement!”

“You are friendly, polite and work well within the team environment. You have built good rapport with your patients. Your communication is clear and concise. You are well prepared for the day.”

“Has become an effective communicator with patients and family members as well as starting to develop those skills with other members of the MDT. Throughout the placement you have shown good development of your clinical reasoning skills.”

“It has been a pleasure to work with Sophie on this placement! She has been consistently professional, polite and diligent throughout. She has not been afraid to demonstrate her independence from the beginning but is very humble and appropriately seeks guidance and feedback as needed. She has demonstrated a diverse knowledge base as well as skills in performing a wide range of assessment/outcome measures (e.g. SARA scale, msk, MMT, 6MWT) and intervention techniques. She has demonstrated her ability to utilise evidence-based practices as well as strong clinical reasoning, particularly working with a 13 year old girl 2 years post severe ABI and ataxia and has been very goal directed and holistic in her approach.”

“Initial consults are 1hr and I have challenged Sophie to provide thorough screening and analysis across varying mostly musculoskeletal presentations, to which she has progressed to a high level of skill throughout this placement.”

Sophie readily builds rapport with patients and the team and is positive in her approach to learning. She takes on feedback well. Sophie has demonstrated comprehensive documentation across a range of modalities including chart entries, NDIS documents and case conference notes. She is able to proactively liaise with the MDT and identify options for follow up therapy.”
