I joined the University in October 2018 after working as a physiotherapist in the NHS for over 20 years. I have worked in both acute and community settings, mainly with older adults, people with respiratory problems and neurological conditions. For most of my career I specialised in acute and elderly rehabilitation. I have had leadership experience in my clinical roles, developing services, line managing teams, as well as being a clinical educator for physiotherapy students on placement.
