Following a career break to support my young family I have taken up the challenge of establishing an Occupational Therapy service to complement and enhance the service available to the clients of Susan Pattison Neurological Physiotherapy. I have recently become a registered Saeboflex practitioner and am able to offer an upper limb rehabilitation treatment service to our patients.

During my time in the NHS I worked in a range of different physiotherapy specialties, providing me with a broad range of clinical experience; the most significant of these being Neurology and Orthopaedics. I continued to improve my clinical competence through Postgraduate courses and have completed the ‘Introduction to Bobath’ training. In April 2010 I joined Susan Pattison Ltd in order to specialise in my greatest interest, Neurology and am thoroughly enjoying working for a team which is truly patient-centred. I am currently completing an Acupuncture course and am looking forward to establishing the service in the Practice, as well as the potential it can provide as an adjunct to therapy. I am a member of the clinical interest groups “Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Neurology” and “Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists” and this will facilitate my skills development further.

I qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in July 1988. My first post was in Preston where I began my interest in neurology and took postgraduate certificates to extend my knowledge base. By 1992 I moved to Bury working in a rehabilitation unit for people with stroke and MS. In 1993 I joined Highbank Head Injury Unit, a specialist unit dedicated to adults and children with acquired brain injury. Frustrated at the limited physiotherapy services available for patients on their return to the community I became an independent practitioner in 1998. Since then I have developed a successful Practice and continue to drive the business forward. I remain a hands on Physiotherapist and also support and develop my team to meet the varied needs of our clients.
I graduated from Salford University as a Chartered Physiotherapist in July 2006, and I joined this dynamic hard working team in September 2006. To suppotrt my developing clinical experience I attended an introductory Bobath course on the treatment of adults with hemiplegia from may to July 2007. Having been a swimming teacher for many years my main interest is in hydrotherapy. I completed a hydrotherapy course specific to people with neurological conditions in March 2008. I am a member of the Hydrotherapy Association of Chartered Physiotherapists and have developed a hydrotherapy service that meets the needs of our clients with neurological conditions.
I qualified from Leeds Metropolitan University as a chartered physiotherapist in 1993 and continued my career within the NHS for 16 years working in Sheffield, Rotherham and Leeds. In 1995 I started to work with neonates, children and adolescents developing a special interest in complex neurological diagnoses with associated conditions such as autism, dyspraxia, developmental delay and chromosomal abnormalities. I have continued to develop my knowledge base by undertaking postgraduate courses and I am an accredited Bobath trained therapist. In April 2009 I joined the well-motivated, vibrant dedicated team at Susan Pattison. I look forward to drawing on my recent experiences in the Gait Laboratory at the Sheffield Children's Hospital to develop a gait analysis service for our adults and children in the future. 
Having qualified as an Occupational Therapist in 1987 I rotated between various specialities until I was inspired to follow a career based in neurology. For 5 years I worked in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation unit treating both in and out patients with neurological conditions. In 1994 I moved from the NHS to work in a social services team, undertaking assessments and the provision of community care packages for clients with complex needs in the community. In August 1995 I became Physical Disabilities Manager, was involved in the establishment of eligibility criteria for the equipment and adaptations service, the supervision of Occupational Therapists and management of a transition service for young adults with neurological disabilities.
I graduated from Manchester University in 2004 and worked in the NHS for just over 4 years; working in Bolton, Glossop and London.
