ABOUT

Personal Statement
I lead and teach on a variety of modules for the BSc and MSc Physiotherapy programmes, whilst also leading those programmes. These roles are enabled because of extensive experience gained from clinical practice in the NHS, as well as within higher education. I specialised clinically in neuro-rehabilitation and have an MA in Learning & Teaching in Higher Education. My most recent scholarly activity involved writing book chapters to facilitate clinical reasoning in students, whilst research investigated the use of self developed videos to assist the development of clinical skills in student physiotherapists. My hobbies generally involve sports and keeping active
