I am an Occupational Therapist with 17 years of experience spanning acute and community settings, including more than ten years as a Band 6 OT in acute medical teams. My work centres on functional and cognitive assessment, rehabilitation, and discharge planning, with knowledge in areas such as frailty, fluctuating cognition, addiction, and chronic conditions including Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ARLD) and Alcohol-Related Brain Damage (ARBD). I regularly engage with ARBD topics through conference presentations, focused training, and collaboration with specialist services. I have experience supporting individuals with complex needs, including those associated with the justice system, ensuring their requirements are addressed within structured and person-centred pathways. My background includes service development, MDT leadership, and mentoring, supported by clinical reasoning, reflective practice, and evidence-based approaches. I am experienced in navigating matters related to capacity, safeguarding, and discharge planning, working jointly with social work, psychiatry, and other health professionals.
