Are you limited in your role as a PQO?
Additional information
I have a Physio degree and therefore could go through the PQO pathway, should i be accepted, however I don't particularly want to join the army as a 'physio'. Do i still apply as a PQO because of my level of education or just go through the normal officer route?

Hi Peter,
If you are not looking to join the military as a physiotherapist then you would need to go down the normal officer route.
Joining as a PQO/Physio would mean your role is likely to be primarily clinical, particularly when you first join, but as your career progresses you are likely to take on a more managerial type role. It depends what your reasons are for wanting to join as a regular officer, but I thought it would be worth mentioning not all our physiotherapists solely do clinical work.
