About Me

I am an experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist and have worked in the UK and Australia in a variety of different clinical environments and with a variety of clients and clinicians.  I set up a private physiotherapy practice in the UK which developed into three busy clinics with a small team of physotherapists.  I then became interested in producing e-learning materials for the education of physiotherapists which is where the present focus of my work is. I am currently a Managing Director of Webducate where we develop bespoke and innovative distance learning resources and consult on all aspects of e-learning for health care education. I am also the founding director of CPDspot which provides support for health professionals with their continual professional development.   Under this umbrella I have founded Physiospot, a series of research blogs that aim to highlight clinically relevant research evidence as it is published, myCPDspot, an online portfolio system, and now Physiopedia.
