I am an experienced children’s physiotherapist and have worked full-time in the paediatric setting for the past 14 years.  Throughout that time I have been fortunate to work with children of all ages and have experience with young infants, including premature babies, right through to older teenagers.  I have worked in both hospital and community services in neonatal and special care units, early childhood development centres, orthopaedic, oncology, rheumatology, neurology and neurosurgery wards/services as well as mainstream and special schools.  As part of all of my jobs I have worked closely with a wide range of health professionals including occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, orthotists, paediatricians and orthopaedic surgeons.  Subsequently, I understand the importance of good communication and co-operation between all the agencies involved in your child’s care.
