Bio
Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital
Birmingham, UK
I have over 24 years of clinical NHS experience. I have spent 22 years of my clinical career immersed in paediatric physiotherapy at Birmingham Children’s Hospital (BCH). I am the clinical lead for the acute team which includes a team of physiotherapist’s working in an array of acute and chronic fields plus liver transplantation and oncology, within a variety of settings. In my clinical role, I am the lead physiotherapist for liver and small bowel transplantation. I am actively involved in the holistic physiotherapy management of liver/small bowel transplantation from pre-transplant assessment right through to transition to adult care. I have recently been involved in exploring the benefits of early rehabilitation and physical outcomes post- liver/intestinal transplant. I am also interested to explore the potential influence of sarcopenia on physical and developmental outcomes in this patient group. I am an active AHP committee member of IPTA and IIRTA.
