Period of adaptation CORU Ireland

Adaptation Training for Physiotherapists in Ireland

If you are a physiotherapist or allied healthcare professional and required to undertake a period of adaptation in Ireland, Monroe Medical NI Ltd can help and provide a professional solution.

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.

What is the solution for candidates who need to complete a PoA (Period of Adaptation for CORU)?

There are 3 options:

- CORU appeal

- CORU aptitude test

- CORU re-submission

Please contact us to discuss these three above options.

We have 100 percent success rate at present relating to CORU appeals.
