I have lived and worked as an Occupational Therapist in Australia and New Zealand, lectured and worked as a course tutor at the University of Essex and worked in a variety of NHS settings within the UK and in the private sector. As a member of the British Association of Hand Therapists I have received specialist training in this field, and continue to attend hand specific training days and courses.

I undertake medico- legal work. I have received specialist training in court report writing and act as an Expert Witness, preparing court reports as requested.

My clinical experience has largely focused on plastic surgery, orthopaedics and muscular skeletal conditions of the hand. I continue to work as a Hand Therapist within the NHS and the private sector.
