                                                              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. 

 

  • Do you have  CORU/ISCP Decision Letter?

  • Are you required to undertake further training and adaptation in Ireland?

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 Monroe Medical to discuss these three solutions for your clinical career.

What does "Period of Adaptation" (POA) entail?

A "Period of Adaptation" refers to a phase of supervised practice carried out in Ireland, overseen by a fully qualified and registered professional in the respective field. This period may also involve participation in academic modules. The focus of the adaptation period is to address significant disparities identified between a professional qualification and the established standards of proficiency and practice placement criteria.

Key features of the Period of Adaptation include:

  • A maximum duration of 3 years, during which the adaptation takes place exclusively within Ireland.

  • The need for a formal proposal detailing the Period of Adaptation, which requires prior approval from the governing Board before commencement.

  • Ongoing reporting and assessment mechanisms to monitor progress.

  • Flexibility for a single repeat attempt, should it be necessary.

In essence, the Period of Adaptation serves as a tailored integration process, refining the alignment between professional qualifications and the rigorous expectations set by the standards of proficiency and practice within Ireland.

If you have  CORU/ISCP Decision Letter please contact Monroe Medical NI Ltd for a free assessment and confidential discussion.


This intense course is a combination of the following:

 

  • Teaching

  • Mentoring

  • Supervised practicals in Ireland (in Neurology, MSK and Cardio-Respiratory)

  • Consultations

 

This course is aimed to increase your knowledge and skills to be an autonomous physiotherapist.

In the context of CORU (Health and Social Care Professionals Council) in Ireland, a "Period of Adaptation" might refer to a specific process or requirement for healthcare professionals who are trained outside of Ireland and are seeking CORU registration to work in Ireland.
