I am a highly experienced physiotherapist who has a vast amount of experience in neurological rehabilitation.  I have worked with many individuals (children, young people and adults) who have sustained life changing injuries, and I am committed to ensuring that they are able to achieve the best possible recovery alongside supporting them to manage the effects of any long-term disabilities.

Prior to choosing to specialise in Neurology I spent time rotating around the core areas of Physiotherapy gaining experience in respiratory including caring for those with tracheostomies and requiring ventilation, orthopaedics, acute medicine, and musculoskeletal injuries.

I am used to working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team and taking a key working role with clients and families. I am confident in managing and training staff and I am able to lead teams effectively.
