Lily Upton

I am a recent BSc Physiotherapy graduate, graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University with a first-class degree with extensive placement experience across neurology, paediatrics, acute medicine, community care and musculoskeletal settings. I am enthusiastic, proactive and caring and passionate about learning and developing my skills. I have strong communication skills, which help me build rapport with patients and their families, and I strive to deliver the best care by working collaboratively with both my team and the wider multidisciplinary team. I am professional, well organised and manage my time efficiently, which enables me to prioritize tasks effectively and meet deadlines. I have developed strong leadership through my roles as a sports captain and Head Girl, where I learned how to motivate others, work as part of a team, and communicate clearly with people from different backgrounds and professions.
