I have extensive experience within the area of community neuro rehabilitation working with adults with a wide range of physical conditions.
My skills include cognitive rehabilitation, fatigue management, seating and wheelchair assessments, postural management, work rehabilitation, manual handling & equipment assessment and provision. I am skilled in neuro-splinting of the hand including the fabrication of bespoke thermoplastic splints for the management of spasticity.
I have worked extensively with brain injury, stroke, MS, Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Functional Neurological Disorder.
My work in community rehabilitation means I have strong skills in goal setting, motivational interviewing and helping clients achieve independence in a variety of areas. I have a wealth of experience in sit to stand equipment for long term use and as part of a rehabilitation programme. I developed these skills in particular during my 7 years working in Rapid Response services. During this Rapid Clinical Specialist role I also was responsible for training the wider team in risk assessment and manual handling assessment skills.
I speak French and have worked in a neuro-rehabilitation unit in France in my earlier career as an OT.
