I am an experienced Occupational Therapist with extensive clinical and management experience working in surgery, medicine, paediatrics and rehabilitation both in acute and community settings.

I carry out private assessments for postural care, wheelchair and seating for adults and children with complex disabilities. I undertake pressure mapping assessments using IPM technology. I carry out general OT assessments on behalf of case managers and Solicitors.
I started work as an expert witness in 2010. I undertake both Quantum reports for both Claimant and Defendant Solicitors. I have particular knowledge and expertise in working with adults and children with severe and complex disabilities and more specifically those who require long-term management of their needs including mobility, pressure care and postural care.
