I qualified in 1976 from the Northern Ireland College of Occupational Therapy and spent my first five years gaining experience in General Medicine and Surgery, Neurosciences and Paediatrics. From 1981 I was Senior I Occupational Therapist in charge of providing services to the Neurosciences Directorate in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast. In 1986 I worked as a Senior Neuro-therapist in the Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, USA, developing a particular interest in the rehabilitation of head injured patients, including children, counselling and training and education of OT and other professional staff. I later worked in the Joss Cardwell Centre in Belfast in the rehabilitation of neurological patients, including those with traumatic brain injury. I was then a Senior I Occupational Therapist in the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, involved with managing children with neurological problems, including head injury. I joined reach as a Programme Manager in 2001. |
