I have been working as a physiotherapist for 6 years, with 4 years in Italy and the past 3 as a physiotherapy assistant and then as a Band 5 physiotherapist in the UK. Neuro rehabilitation, which is my passion and I am member of the ACPIN. I have worked extensively in both community and inpatient rehabilitation settings since coming to the UK. Presently I have completed a six month rotation in community rehabilitation and
on a general rehabilitation ward for a further 6 months as a Band 5. I have financed my own Neuro rehabilitation development having completed a number of post-graduate UK accredited courses and reading up on research each morning before I start my working day.
I have recently rotated onto a Neuro Rehabilitation ward. I also supervise rehab support workers and delivered in-service training for their own competencies. I like to think that I can develop a service to deliver the best quality treatments for all patients and contribute to team development in accordance with the physiotherapy charter. I have gained tremendous support from my Band 7 and Band 8a therapy leads. I feel I have developed good problem solving skills and interpersonal skills. Working in the UK I have become acutely aware of the rising pressures on a growing elderly population.
Prior to working in the UK I have worked with Neurological conditions in paediatrics as well as MSK and sports physiotherapy. I continue to work in sports physiotherapy in my own personal time working for a football team so that my skills across the age ranges remain broad. I am noted for my happy nature and supportive attitude towards my colleagues, and I like to think every member of the team can approach me for support. I believe I have a good skill mix, and my ability to learn in English, which is not my first language, has given me insight into working with patients in a multicultural society.
