Insight day at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC)

Posted on - 31st January 2025

I recently attended an insight day at DMRC to learn more about their amazing work and to take the opportunity to meet and hear from some of our accredited Students and Members. We all found the day enjoyable and it was a great learning experience. Here’s some of the feedback from our SST accredited students studying Sports Therapy BSc (Hons) at the University of East London …

“The day was fantastic from start to finish. That was all due to the amazing staff at the facility, who were welcoming and knowledgeable about their individual fields of practice. Alongside this it was great meeting all the other people who came as I got to talk to a lot them and learn from their experiences as well as learning from the staff members. Overall it was a brilliant experience and day out!!”  Josh

“I wish to express my appreciation for the opportunity to attend. It was very fascinating and inspiring to see multitudes of healthcare professions working harmoniously to provide care for patients with incredible precision. The system I saw that day gave me further understanding of how far I still need to develop my skills to achieve the level of expertise that was involved within the rehabilitation center.”  Thanawat

“I enjoyed every moment of the trip, our guide was very polite and welcoming and the rest of the staff around the facility that we spoke to were also very kind. It was really amazing to see people that have the desire to do whatever they can to help.

The prosthetic and orthotics department was my favourite as the man working in there had created some brilliant pieces to aid people with their injury and lifestyle.”  AyJay

“It was insightful and inspiring to be in such a high-quality facility – underwater treadmills for hydrotherapy,  alt G treadmills – the vr treadmill to help w PTSD –  you don’t come about this equipment often.It was very clear everyone was confident in their field and that communication between different teams is imperative. I will take this forward in future placement/work settings.” Patricia

A huge thank you to Sergeant Ciaran Mangan and the team at DMRC for looking after us, making us welcome and for taking the time to showcase their inspiring work – thank you!

The DMRC are currently reviewing the format of their insight days but keep an eye out for the next round of dates when they become available.
