Beste MatiesPhysio Alumnus

Nuus uit die Afdeling Augustus 2016

Terug na die Julie vakansie en werklik nou in die pylvlak van hierdie feesjaar……..

MANDELA DAY 2016

A wonderful outreach initiative was organised this year for Mandela Day, by the Stellenbosch

University Physiotherapy division, as part of our 50 year celebration. Donation boxes were

strategically placed in our division, for toiletry collections of soap, facecloths, tissues, toothpaste,

toothbrushes, deodorant and shampoo. As this was a competition between the various student

years, there was constant activity in the passage with filling, counting and re-filling these boxes with

abundant toiletries.

The success of this drive, from students and staff alike, enabled us to provide a care pack to each

elderly resident at the old age home in one of the nearby residential areas. With extra toiletries on

hand, we were also able to make a further donation

towards a collection at Tygerberg medical campus.

After packing 95 care packs for the old age home,

two shopping bags of toiletries were handed over to

Mrs Nadia Goliath for patients in Tygerberg

hospital.

Mandela day arrived with much anticipation; once

again there was much activity in the division, from

carrying toiletry gift packs and hampers, to making up the party boxes for each elderly resident. The

students worked in teams to fill each party box with a sandwich, cup- cake, biscuits, sweets and

marshmallows. I would like to extend many thanks to all those who donated items towards the tea

party and to staff who helped with all the packing.

The students sang and handed out the gift packs to

each elderly resident, smiles and much gratitude

was seen on their faces. The tea party was enjoyed

by everyone, while the students provided some

welcome massages to residents’ hands and

shoulders. It was wonderful to experience feelings

of connecti on and compassion, as seen by the

reaching out of our students. The matron was

presented with two lovely gift hampers for the

elderly residents and thanks to her for our warm welcome and for her support.

This Mandela Day outreach would not have been possible without the help

of our sponsors. In particular, thank you to Ukwanda for supplying

transport and to their staff members Wesley and Graham, for driving the

mini busses. Nestle, provided chocolates and coffee towards the tea party

and private donations contributed towards two toiletry gift hampers,

containing items on

matrons ‘wish list’.

Mandela Day 2016

outreach to the old age

home, was once again a reminder of our

Physiotherapy divisions’ commitment in the

community, to bring compassion and empathy to

quality healthcare.

BURSARY FUND: MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER

Our division’s mission is to create an environment which is inclusive, where staff and students strive

for excellence and where all our activities (research, teaching, service delivery) make an impact.

Unfortunately, a growing number of our Maties Physio students are faced with economic realities,

which has an enormous impact on their ability to successfully complete their studies. We have joined

forces with the newly established Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Bursary fund to ensure

dedicated funds for physiotherapy students. This is a divisional initiative which will allow our alumni to

contribute to the training of the next generation of physiotherapists

INSPIRASIE VAN EEN VAN ONS HUIDIGE STUDENTE:

BYWONING VAN DIE INTERNATIONAL SCHOLAR LAURETTE PROGRAM IN CHINA 2016

Ek was bevorreg om die ISLP in China vir 2016 by te woon. Dit was ‘n wonderlike ervaring en ‘n

prestasie wat uitstaan in my studieloopbaan. Ek het nooit gedroom om China te besoek as een van

my doelwitte maar was definitief baie dankbaar vir hierdie goue

geleentheid wat op my pad gekom het. Die ISLP word jaarliks

gehou in China of Australia en akkommodeer verskeie dissiplines,

onder andere Medies & wetenskap, ingeneurswese, diplomasie en

besigheidstudies. Die ISLP kommittee identifiseer geskikte studente

en individue in samewerking met Golden Key. Genomineerde

kandidate moet dus ‘n Golden Key lidmaat wees ten einde

genomineer te kan word. Ek was ook in 2012-2013 genomineer om

hierdie geleentheid by te woon, maar as gevolg van finansiële

omstandighede was ek nie instaat om dit by te woon nie. Ek wou

nie hierdie geleentheid vir ‘n tweede keer misloop nie. Die ISLP is ‘n

program wat studente van reg oor die wêreld die geleentheid bied

om te netwerk, integreer met mekaar en die verkeie professore

aan wie hulle voorgestel word tydens die program. Dit gee ook die

individu die kans om die verskil tussen Westerse medisyne van die

tradisionele Chinese medisyne te leer ken. Gedurende my besoek

aan China het die organiseerders baie moeites gedoen om ons

bekend te stel aan die Chinese kultuur en gewoontes.

Ek het deel uit gemaak van die medies & wetenskap dissipline of

groep. My groep het bestaan uit 25 lede wat van reg oor die wêreld

kom. Ons was slegs 3 studente van Suid-Afrika. Ek van US en die

ander twee van KZN. Die program het ses dae in Beijing, twee dae in

Xi’an en drie dae in Shanghai plaasgevind. Ons het by hierdie

geleentheid verskeie akademiese/ tersiêre hospitale wat geskakel is

met ‘n mediese universiteit, kleiner gemeenskapshospitale

en daghospitale in al drie bogenoemde stede besoek.

Gedurende die besoeke aan die hospitale en universiteite

het ons lesings ontvang oor hoe China se gesondheidsisteem

werk en inligting rakende werkinge van universiteite, Chinese

kultuur en blootstelling aan kliniese laboratoriums waar ons

kon sien hoe dat hulle kadawers dissekteer. Ons het ook kans

gekry om saam met hul plaaslike studente te network en

integreer.

Guang’anmen Hospital and Teaching Academy: Traditional

Chinese Medicine Research Academy Principles of Reflexology

and Acupuncture was die enigste besoek aan ‘n instituut

waar die tradisionele Chinese medisyne beoefen en onderrig

word. Tydens die besoek aan hierdie besonderse instituut

het ons ‘n demonstrasie aanskou waar die bekende Chinese

“cupping” tegniek gedemonstreer was. Dit is bekend as ‘n Chinese

masserings- en spier ontspanningstegniek, en is ook bekend om

baie gevaarlik te wees omdat dit die gebruik van verhitte skoon

alkohol behels.

Ek was bevoorreg om ook

die Groot Muur van China

in Beijing te klim,

Tian’anmen square voor

die ingang van die Verbode Stad te besoek,Tradisionele

gebraaide eend-ete by Wangfujing Quanjude Restuorant by te

woon, ‘n besoek aan die Tee Paleis in Beijing, besoek aan die

Bekende Hutongs in Beijing, ook bekend as die agtergeblewe

woonbuurt, en een van my gunstelinge, 8000- Man Terra

Cotta Leër van Qin Keiser Museum in Xi’an. Aan die einde van

my besoek aan verskeie stede soos genoem het ek besef dat

China ‘n baie

interressante kultuur en asemrowende

gedenkwaardighede en toerisme atraksies het, ten spyte

van sy vreemde maar tog unieke gesondheidsisteem en

wette. Die Groot Muur van China in Beijing met ‘n totale

lengte van 50 000 kilometer, wat strek oor ‘n gebied so

groot soos 16 van vandag se provinsies, munisipaliteite en

outonome gebiede.

Die pragtige Tian’anmen square was oorspronklik die hoofingang na die

paleis tydens Ming & Qing Voorste-huis regering (Verbode Stad)

Tradisionele gebraaide eend-ete by Wangfujing Quanjude Restuorant

Tee Paleis in Beijing

Welbekende Hutongs in Beijing, ook bekend as die agtergeblewe

woonbuurt

My gunsteling die 8000- Man Terra Cotta Leër

van Qin Keiser Museum in Xi’an. Argeoloë het

nie een nie, maar duisende soldate van klei in

opgrawings

gevind. Die terra-cotta leër soos dit

bekend staan is deel van die uitbreidings

van die praalgraaf van die Eerste Keiser

van China, wat hom moes vergesel in sy

hiernamaalse

lewe, soos dit

vermoed word deur argeoloë.
