About Me
Graduating in 2003, I worked as an occupational therapist within the NHS for 18-years. I established my own private practice in 2017 alongside my NHS role before leaving the NHS at the end of 2021 to focus solely on independent practice.
I have a vast array of experience spanning various conditions and presentations including Orthopaedics and Trauma, Surgical, Vascular Surgery / Amputation Rehabilitation, Neurorehabilitation, Stroke and Older Peoples Rehabilitation.
Advances in my practice with the introduction of remote assessments in my NHS post were featured in OTnews in July 2020 - in response to Covid-19 social distancing restrictions.
​
I have participated in the delivery of health promotion seminars with Age Scotland, educating those approaching retirement on the importance of active ageing.
