Grace O'Doherty

My role at Brooksby mainly involved developing rehabilitation programmes to manage ongoing injuries to both the boys and girls' teams. I liaised with other medical professionals in facilitating post-operative treatment monitoring. I observed patient recovery progress and modified treatment plans to address identified concerns. Alongside this, I developed attainable goals for optimal treatment progress.

My roles and responsibilities at Nottingham included; providing emergency pitch-side trauma care, using clinical reasoning skills to determine differential diagnoses. I provided thorough patient care, meeting recognised clinical standards for continued safe practice. I used massage and muscle manipulation techniques daily on the players to provide therapeutic relief. My main role was triaging players to allow for best quality of care, and following up with short and long-term rehabilitation programmes. I also provided education on condition prevention techniques to minimise likelihood of repeated injuries.
