What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop my skills in orthotics and prosthetics while contributing to patient care in a supportive and innovative environment.

I am a dedicated orthotics and prosthetics technician with over seven years of hands-on experience in the fabrication, fitting, and repair of orthotic and prosthetic devices. My academic background includes an MSc in Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Technology and a BSc in Orthotics and Prosthetics, which have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to excel in this field. I am also a member of the British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists (BAPO), reflecting my commitment to maintaining high professional standards.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my attention to detail and patient-centered care. I have worked in both public and private clinics, where I applied precise techniques and problem-solving skills at all stages of device production and fitting. My experience includes designing, fitting, and customizing devices to meet individual patient goals while ensuring quality and safety standards. I am eager to continue learning and developing professionally, dedicated to supporting patients’ mobility and independence.
