BSc Prosthetics and Orthotics, MSc Advanced Clinical Practice
I qualified in 2011 and am the first HCPC-registered Orthotist in the UK with an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice. My specialities include lower limb assessment, orthotic intervention, gait analysis, neurological orthosis, and spinal bracing. I have also completed Level 7 modules in medical image interpretation for lower limb and spinal triage and diagnosis, and hold a diploma in foot health, thereby expanding my clinical expertise.
I am the Director of Great Gait LTD, my previous experience was as the Orthotic Clinical Lead at the Wirral University Teaching Hospital Trust for seven years. Before that, I worked as a contracted orthotist in NHS trusts across the UK, handling complex cases involving diabetes, musculoskeletal, and neurological conditions. I have worked in gait laboratories, producing detailed pre- and post-intervention reports. My expertise includes assessing and prescribing knee, ankle, and foot orthoses, orthopaedic footwear, trauma spinal, and scoliosis bracing. I am skilled in traditional fabrication methods and advanced 3D printing, scanning, and limb capture techniques. I have worked with several case managers and have a number of orthopaedic consultants who refer patients for gait analysis and custom-made orthotics. I also provide regular multidisciplinary clinics with neuro physiotherapy teams in the Northwest of England.
Over the past three years, I have collaborated with Pam Enderby (OBE) to develop an orthotics outcome measure, training over 70 UK orthotists. I have been invited to speak at the national conference, delivered lectures at the University of Salford, and led teaching sessions for AHP colleagues on orthoses and biomechanics.
I accept instructions from claimant and defendant solicitors and insurers, having completed formal medico-legal training and am fully aware of my responsibilities under the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) for expert witnesses.
