Have you been asked to complete a period of adaptation? Are you struggling to find hospitals for placement?
Monroe Medical previously provided adaptation placements. However, the situation has changed dramatically since COVID.
The majority of our candidates with a decision letter and a request for adaptation choose alternative options such as appeal or re-submission. At Monroe Medical, we boast a 100% success rate for CORU re-submissions and appeals.
Understanding why your initial application was unsuccessful is crucial. With diligent preparation, targeted focus on shortfalls, and clear, well-structured descriptions, success is attainable. Currently, 100% of second applications or appeals submitted through Monroe Medical are successful.

IMPORTANT UPDATE.
We used to provide CORU adaptation placements in Ireland and period of adaptation solutions.
However, since 2022 hospitals DO NOT offer CORU adaptation placements.
Why is that?
- Hospitals do not offer CORU period of adaptation placements because of post COVID situation in Ireland.
The waiting lists to see a physiotherapist in Ireland are extremely long. There are not enough places for students and trainees considering the cutbacks and extremely busy clinical environment.
- CORU does not allow candidates to complete a period of adaptation in a clinical setting. This makes it even more difficult to find a hospital for an adaptation placement. There are only 86 hospitals in Ireland. Moreover, not every single hospital has a Cardio-Respiratory Unit. The majority of candidates would need to completed CORU adaptation in Respiratory, MSK and Neuro.
- Staffing crises in Ireland. There are not enough clinicians to supervise candidates.
A period of adaptation would need to be supervised and assessed on a regular basis.
Unfortunately, because of serious staffing issues, hospitals do not have enough staff to offer a regular supervision for trainees.
