Physio Where You Are

Team Leader and founder of Physio Where You Are

qualified as a physiotherapist in 1985 having trained at Nottingham. My first job was at Glenfield General Hospital in Leicester as well as at the Groby Road Hospital specialising in thoracic surgery. I later moved to Burton on Trent and that is where I began to develop an interest in neurology from 1987. This interest deepened as I moved to work at the specialist unit for neurological patients in Derby and I eventually became the specialist physiotherapist for neurology across both the Derby Royal Infirmary and the Derby City hospitals. In this capacity I carried the responsibility for developing and envisioning the neurological physiotherapy team and to a lesser extent, the occupational therapy services in these Derby Acute Hospitals. Having achieved my aim of creating a cohesive and skilled team in the Derby Acute Hospitals as well as creating working relationships and links with the Primary Care Trusts, I decided that it was time to create something new and exciting in the private community setting

I, like the members of my team, am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy as well as being registered with the Health Professions Council. I am also a member of the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists Interested in Neurology (ACPIN) as well as belonging to the Organisation of Chartered Physiotherapists in Private Practise.
