Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy
I am a Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy, with specific expertise in neurological physiotherapy, elderly care, rehabilitation and amputee management. My background is as a physiotherapist, working in the community and specialising in neurological conditions. I have a strong belief in holistic care and as such, I'm passionate about educating students to understand the needs of the individual patient, rather than the condition.
I have been working in higher education as a lecturer since 2002, and in this time, have had the privilege to teach a wide range of students, studying diverse courses. While physiotherapy has always been my focus, I have taught sports science, biomedical sciences, social work, teacher training, work-based learning and CPD. As such, I have a broad range of skills and a clear understanding of student learning needs across a spectrum of subject areas.
My current research interest lies in pure qualitative methodologies, specifically narrative inquiry. Building on my interest in individual need, I am currently involved in research investigating the lived experiences of veteran amputees, in relation to decisions made about prosthetic limb prescription. My focus is in giving a voice to the individuals at the centre of the prescriptive process.
My earlier research was across a range of projects in learning and teaching and included a range of qualitative and mixed methodologies; focusing my own research on the role of video-based communications technologies, in supporting placement-based learning. My focus was on the individual nature of learning need and the implications that this has upon efficacy of video-based communications media.
