  • About Me:

    I live in Nottinghamshire, regularly visiting my mum, dad and little brother.

    I have a horse and 2 dogs who are my world!

    I enjoy going to the gym, horse-riding, reading and baking. I am also a volunteer for a mental health support line and I enjoy doing this from home a few times a week.

  • My pronouns are:

    she/her

  • My Work:

    I am a Physiotherapist who works in the NHS.

    I currently work with people after having operations for broken bones (or joint replacements), however I have worked with lots of different people of all ages.

    I move into a different area every five months, so I am always learning new things.

    I have been qualified as a Physiotherapist since 2020. I finished my university degree within the COVID-19 pandemic.

    I was asked to start work early in my role to help the NHS during the start and throughout the  pandemic.

    I initially started work in Leicestershire in April 2020, working in the community & visiting people in their own homes for physiotherapy.

    I then moved into my current job at King’s Mill Hospital (in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire) in November 2020.

    Since starting this job, I have had the following work rotations:

    • Healthcare of the Older Person (helping the elderly regain their walking and independence, in order to live safely)
    • Pelvic Health, Obstetrics and Gynaecology (working with women of different ages, during pregnancy and once having their baby)
    • Intensive Care & Surgery (seeing the poorliest of people in hospital – often on lots of different machines to help keep them alive. I worked in helping their lungs work well, helping people move again after critical illness and starting their rehab journey)
    • Trauma & Orthopaedics (my current area – helping people to walk and move again following falls, broken bones or operations to fix these. I also see people following joint replacements)

  • My Typical Day:

    I wake up, get ready for work and have my breakfast.

    I get to work for an 8am start, where we have a team meeting then go onto the hospital wards and see the patients.

    My team and I have lunch around 12pm (when the patients do), then in the afternoon it’s back onto the wards to see more patients.

    I finish work and go home at 4pm.

    • Quick Fire Questions

      • How would you describe yourself in 3 words?

        horse-loving clumsy physio

        What did you want to be after you left school?

        A doctor!

        What or who inspired you to do your job?

        I did work experience with other physiotherapists and also saw them working on the wards during a work placement.

        After realising medicine wasn’t for me, I felt inspired by the physiotherapists and how they worked with their patients, to encourage their independence and help them back onto their feet after injury or illness. They add a lot of quality to people’s lives and the relationship with their patients is very personal and important.
