What I'm looking for

Seeking a senior Telehealth role where I can leverage 14 years of elite Musculoskeletal expertise to lead virtual clinical delivery. I am looking to join an innovative organisation committed to optimising patient outcomes through computer vision AI and high-accuracy remote assessment

I am a dedicated Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapist with over 14 years of experience in assessing, diagnosing, and managing complex caseloads and specialising in the delivery and optimisation of digital health solutions. I am an expert in navigating complex musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, and sports caseloads across NHS and elite sports, with a proven track record in high-accuracy remote assessment and virtual care.I am expert in delivering remote and face to face care, providing assessment, expert medical clinical reasoning, tailored exercise prescription, and personalised rehabilitation, with a proven ability to optimise functional recovery and patient independence. I am committed to clinical excellence and evidence-based practice, and have a willingness to work with computer vision AI for exercise correction. I have proven ability to thrive as an independent practitioner and within high-pressure multidisciplinary teams. I have consistently achieved 90-100% patient satisfaction ratings over the last decade by bridging the gap between technology and empathetic, patient-centred care.
