Jenny,
I can't say I have had years of experience with OPD vs. community physio
(I graduated last year). However, some of the things I have noticed are:
community -ves: physio sits in a car for a lot of time (ie. no patient
treatment + it is a pain when there is no aircon [in hot weather] + it can
get boring), physio may not be able to have ready access to equipment (like
traction), community physio is less cost effective when compared to OPD.
Community +ves: patients can get treated at home. OPD +ves: equipment,
time, probably bit more interesting than driving.
I hope this has been of some help.
Daniel
