Student leader Luke Tobin offers guidance on blowing your own trumpet as an undergraduate

eadership – it’s one of those buzz words we all bandied about when we were writing our personal statements. But now we’ve made it into university and are busying ourselves with the ins and outs of physiotherapy, how manyL of us actually demonstrate it? A daunting task, perhaps? Something that only comes with experience once you’ve qualified? Wrong! Here are 10 top tips on how to demonstrate leadership as a physiotherapy student.

Become a learning champion 1 CSP learning champions support their peers’ learning and development, encourage good continuing professional development (CPD) habits and inform their peers about CPD resources and events. Learning champions get lots of support from the CSP, and there isn’t a set time commitment. Why not sign up and organise a CPD evening once a month? ‘Pizza and portfolio night’ is a popular choice, I’ve been informed!

Volunteer 2 There are loads of volunteering opportunities within your university and with other external third sector organisations that can be an ideal proving top tips for students ground for your leadership skills. Many will give you skills that relate well to your degree, such as working with people with a disability or leading information sessions with your peers or the public. A great example is the Alzheimer’s Society’s ‘Dementia Friends’ initiative. For more information, see www.dementiafriends.

When it comes to equality and diversity, there is still a long way to go, says CSP officer Jess Belmonte

he last 20 years have seen many steps towards equality. The 2010 Equality Act bought together more than 116 pieces of legislation (in England, Scotland and Wales) intended to protect the rights ofT individuals and reduce discrimination. We’ve had a black American president, same sex marriage legislation introduced in more than 20 countries and rising numbers of women in parliament. It may be tempting to think that racism, sexism and homophobia are mainly consigned to the history books. Unfortunately, the last few years have also seen a number of blows to equality. The introduction of fees for an employment tribunal made it more difficult to fight discrimination and unfair treatment in the workplace in recent years. Thanks to a successful campaign by trade unions and others, the government is being forced to perform a U-turn of this policy. The ‘red tape challenge’, introduced in 2012 by the coalition government, removed a number of important equality rights and led to significant cuts to the budget of the Equality and EQUALITY: Human Rights Commission. With much of our equality legislation directed by EU law, it seems there has never been a more uncertain time for equality. Let’s look at some common myths around equality in the workplace and some of the small steps we can all take.

Myth: Why should I share personal details, busting the myths like my sexual orientation? All this equality data collection is just box-ticking Equality data is usually focused on the ‘protected characteristics’ outlined in the Equality Act 2010 (covered by different legislation in Northern Ireland). These are age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity. In the UK there are inequalities in access to health services and health outcomes. In addition, some conditions or behaviours are more prevalent in certain communities. If health care organisations don’t measure these inequalities, they cannot improve them. Good equality data and, more importantly, effective analysis of this data means that organisations can design services to meet the needs of local communities and use resources as efficiently as possible. Equality monitoring of staff means that employers can identify Advertisement Equalities
