Details

I am a dedicated and experienced orthotics professional with over 15 years of experience in clinical and locum roles across the UK. Following my BSc (Hons) in Prosthetics and Orthotics from the University of Salford, I have developed a strong clinical foundation, specialising in orthotics and working extensively in both NHS and private sectors.

My roles have ranged from junior orthotist positions to leading orthotic services as a sole clinician, managing complex caseloads including KAFO patients, paediatrics, and diabetic foot care. I have also established a successful private orthotics clinic on Harley Street, where I collaborate closely with orthopaedic consultants and physiotherapists.

I am passionate about delivering high standards of patient care, maintaining a strong commitment to continuing professional development, and I am fully registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I now seek to expand my expertise into the medico-legal field, where I can apply my clinical experience in assessing, reporting, and advising on orthotic and mobility-related medico-legal matters.
