This ensured that almost every graduating student\u2019s voice was represented, providing a reliable picture of the student experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results demonstrate significant improvements across almost every area of the NSS, achieving a 96% overall positivity score. Particularly notable gains were seen in Assessment and Feedback, which increased from 72.4% to 94.2%, Student Voice, which rose from 81.3% to 96.2%, and Learning Opportunities, which improved from 89.4% to 97.3%. Several individual questions achieved outstanding scores, including 100% agreement that teaching staff explain things clearly and 100% agreement that the course has developed the knowledge and skills needed for students\u2019 futures. Students also reported very high levels of satisfaction with opportunities to provide feedback, feeling that their opinions are valued by staff, and the support they receive throughout their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embedding student partnership <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve this, rather than viewing the NSS as a single annual exercise, the Physiotherapy team has embedded student partnership through a commitment to listening, acting on and sharing responses to feedback to close the loop throughout the programme. Students are engaged as active contributors to programme development through student-staff liaison committees, module evaluation, informal conversations and student-led projects; all of which contributed to a successful internal and external curriculum review process in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent examples of these initiatives include working collaboratively with student representatives to review and revise the distribution of assessments, helping to create a more balanced and manageable assessment experience and implementing the Assessment Load Framework (ALF). By ensuring students can see the impact of their feedback, the team has fostered a culture of trust, partnership and continuous improvement, where students can see how much they play a central role in shaping the future of the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A collective effort<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are incredibly proud of these results, but even more proud of what they represent,\u201d said Lindsay O\u2019Connor, Programme Lead for Physiotherapy (pictured below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:35% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.soton.ac.uk\/fels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/10\/LAOC-Profile-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11436 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.soton.ac.uk\/fels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/10\/LAOC-Profile-1.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/magazines.soton.ac.uk\/fels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/10\/LAOC-Profile-1-360x360.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/magazines.soton.ac.uk\/fels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/10\/LAOC-Profile-1-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat makes these results particularly meaningful is that they reflect the voices of almost our entire graduating cohort.
