Comments
Best run unit in the entire physio course by far. Prue & Narelle are so lovely and caring, it kinda feels like they become your uni mums haha. They're absolute geniuses when it comes to neuro physio but treat you like a colleague and equal and are such great teachers. Their passion for neuro is also infectious - I didn't think I'd really like neuro before I started the unit and it's now become a field I'm interested in working in when I graduate!
Lecturer(s)
Prue Morgan - physio theory
Narelle Dalwood - physio theory
Jo - anatomy
Ash - physiology
Past Exams Available
Don't think there was any full practice exams but there definitely was some practice questions.
Rating

5 out of 5
Recorded Lectures

Yes, with screen capture
Textbook Recommendation
Neurological Rehabilitation - Carr & Shepherd
Clinical Outcome Measurement in Adult Neurological Physiotherapy - Hill et al
Definitely recommend buying these two. They will be super useful during the semester but also when you're on placement in future years - especially the outcome measures book.
Workload
I imagine the structure will have changed a bit since last year, but it's basically 4 days a week with one day off (a Tuesday, from memory). CBL on Mondays and Fridays like usual. Anatomy lectures and prac, physio theory lectures and pracs and physiology lectures. Probably ~16 contact hours, sometimes maybe more?
Year & Semester Of Completion
2018, Semester 2
