Summary

With almost two decades of experience working in prosthetics, at a range of facilities, I deliver a competent, patient-focused approach to all aspects of prosthetic intervention and amputee rehabilitation.

Building on my history of mentoring clinicians and developing clinical service protocols, I always strive to contribute to enhancing a collaborative approach to amputee rehabilitation, ensuring the highest standards of patient care and clinical outcomes are met.
