Angela adopts a holistic approach encompassing the functional, cognitive and emotional aspects of recovery. Within integrated health and social care teams, Angela was responsible for assessing and implementing care packages and rehabilitation programmes for individuals living at home.
Following her own diagnosis with a rare neurological condition in 2022, she experienced months of hospitalisation and subsequent inpatient neurological rehabilitation. This required relearning fundamental skills including mobility and personal care. Initially she required substantial support and experienced significant physical limitations, Angela applied her professional expertise to her recovery, ultimately regaining full independence.
This personal experience, combined with years of NHS and private sector work in senior clinical roles across multiple locations, provides Angela with a unique perspective as both therapist and patient. She understands firsthand the physical, cognitive and emotional challenges faced by clients throughout their rehabilitation journey.
She maintains current expertise through ongoing professional development including cognitive rehabilitation, specialist equipment and seating post brain injury. Angela regularly attends relevant conferences and participates in independent occupational therapy professional groups.
Angela is confident in assessing and rehabilitating patients' physical, cognitive, psychological, behavioural and social limitations at all stages of their rehabilitation journey, from acute care through to community reintegration and return to meaningful occupation. She combines professional, ethical practice with an empathetic, practical approach informed by both extensive clinical expertise and lived experience of neurological rehabilitation. She is also an Associate OT and Expert Witness.
