Skills
I have a robust background in subject-specific research, particularly in areas such as cardio-respiratory physiotherapy, biomechanics, and manual therapy. My work includes publishing articles in peer-reviewed journals and presenting findings at professional conferences. I am committed to integrating research into teaching, ensuring students benefit from the latest evidence-based practices. As a Head of Department and Professor in previous roles, I led academic teams, managed research projects, and coordinated departmental activities. I successfully oversaw curriculum development, research supervision, and strategic planning, fostering a collaborative and results-oriented environment. With extensive teaching experience, I have designed and delivered lectures, developed innovative course materials, and assessed student performance through a variety of methods. My commitment to academic excellence has consistently contributed to positive student outcomes and feedback. I have implemented quality assurance measures in academic programmes, such as peer review of teaching, curriculum audits, and student feedback analysis. These initiatives have improved course delivery and ensured compliance with institutional and accreditation standards. I am proficient in using IT systems for teaching, research, and administration, including virtual learning environments (e.g., Moodle, Blackboard), research databases, and data analysis software. I also integrate technology into teaching to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. I have collaborated with colleagues, industry partners, and regulatory bodies to promote academic and research initiatives. I have also organized workshops and training sessions to support staff development and foster a culture of continuous improvement. I remain actively engaged in research, consistently seeking opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and enterprise initiatives that align with institutional goals and enhance teaching quality. These IPE experiences have provided students with valuable opportunities to learn from and with their peers, gain insights into the roles and responsibilities of other healthcare professionals, and develop the communication and teamwork skills necessary for effective inter-professional practice. By fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual respect, IPE initiatives not only enhance students' educational experiences but also contribute to improved patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. In summary, my experience coordinating clinical education for pre-registration physiotherapy students and delivering inter-professional education has been both challenging and rewarding. Through careful planning, collaboration, and innovation, I've endeavored to ensure that students receive high-quality clinical experiences that prepare them to excel as competent and compassionate healthcare professionals in an increasingly complex and interconnected healthcare landscape.
