Business, knowledge transfer and international

  • I  led on the internationalisation of the clinical programs at Brunel where I was previously Head of Clinical Sciences; identifying 5 key markets and implementing an international scholarship program. Together with Dr Anne McIntyre, we secured the first ACOTE Masters in Occupational Therapy international accreditation outside the USA. I successfully moved a number of programmes to 30% international students over a three year period.

Professional practice, knowledge exchange and impact

Mentorship for ICA NIHR CDR Fellows (1-2 hours a month) - The NIHR has an ICA Mentorship scheme available to Clinical Academics undertaking their Doctoral Fellowships. I was nominated by my professional body and was successfully appointed to the NIHR Academy; I have been a committed and active mentor since the inception of the Scheme. I regularly participate in the mentor and mentees training events and have mentored two ICA CDR Fellows (max allowed) every year since the inception of the Scheme. These very talented mentees have included a range of health professionals including Physiotherapists, Dieticians, Nurses etc.
