About Me
Hello there! I'm a physiotherapist from Bangladesh, having graduated in 2015, with experience across clinical practice and humanitarian rehabilitation. I began my career with three years of clinical practice specialising in musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation. I then spent seven years with Handicap International – Humanity & Inclusion (HI), largely within the response to the Rohingya Refugee crisis in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, the site of the world's largest refugee camp. The first four years as a Rehabilitation Officer, delivering extensive Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) and Institution-Based Rehabilitation (IBR) across different locations, followed by three years as Team Manager, leading a multidisciplinary team to implement comprehensive rehabilitation programmes in extremely challenging conditions.
I left HI in August 2025, and since September 2025, I have been studying for a Master of Research (MRes) in Leadership and Management at the University of Derby. Alongside my studies, I volunteer with the NHS.
I began my physiotherapy education programme in early 2011, and ever since, I've relied on Physiopedia to stay updated with the latest knowledge and information in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. I've found it to be the most convenient platform for searching and accessing information, with content that's consistently easy to understand. From that point onward, I've harboured a desire to contribute towards enhancing global access to rehabilitation education and information through Physiopedia, and I've enthusiastically embarked on this journey to make a global impact.
