Abstract
As part of a wider research project, a survey was conducted of all U.K. physiotherapy schools to outline the current patterns of provision of CCTV and how it is being used both by staff and students.
Analysis of the results shows that, despite the stringent financial climate, CCTV is increasingly more available as an education resource and more teachers are involving themselves in operating the equipment and in making their own programmes. Staff seem more inclined to use the medium for teaching than students are to use it for learning during private study.
Two particular areas are highlighted and discussed. These are physiotherapy-related, staff-produced programmes and CCTV research. A pooling of permanent teaching/learning video programmes is suggested, controlled by a central agency, for intra and interprofessional exchange, at nominal fees. The comparative lack of research activity by the paramedical professions into the validity and possible application of CCTV, either educationally or clinically, is pointed out and encouragement given to reverse this situation and to communicate findings.
