My contribution to learning and teaching focusses on creating learning environments that support students and educators to seek and gain knowledge that underpins physiotherapy practice. I draw from both my professional practice experience as a neurological physiotherapist and my research in rehabilitation and rehabilitation technology to inform my teaching. I frequently use case based, real world and innovative use of technologies when designing teaching, learning and assessment approaches. I mentor and lead the neurological physiotherapy teaching team in curriculum design and content development, and contribute to the development of the Master of Physiotherapy Practice programme.
