    I have no idea - but if you're looking to become a healthcare professional just be aware of the correct spelling of it or it's not going to look good on you. Just some friendly advice ;)

    Don't be a complete moron.

    The OP spelled it incorrectly twice - which would indicate that's how they think it's actually spelled. Anyone who is trying to gain employment in a particular field needs to know how to spell it correctly or they are just setting themselves up for embarrassing rejections.

    If you can't say anything constructive, then don't bother. I doubt anyone much will care either way.

    If you are going to be studying physio, you should only get a reduced rate loan from SLC (about £2500). You should also have applied to the NHS for the NHS bursary of £2810 and the NHS should be paying your fees. I think you may have the wrong funding from the SLC. I think you should contact the uni you hope to study with and talk to someone from student services about the funding you should be applying for & receiving.
