Role Summary

I am a chartered physiotherapist with over 20 years clinical experience. I worked as physiotherapist in Hong Kong and relocated to Plymouth in 2006. I worked as a respiratory physiotherapist at Derriford Hospital and then as a senior physiotherapist in various NHS rapid response and intermediate care teams across Plymouth and Cornwall. I was a clinical educator and has been teaching in Higher Education since 2007. I am currently a part-time lecturer and runs my own private practice. I am passionate about teaching and training future healthcare professionals.
