About

I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2001 and specialised clinically in both acute and long term management of neurological conditions. I started working full time as a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University in 2009, but has also continued some clinical practice alongside this.

I am now level 5 year lead for the BSc physiotherapy course, but have also worked as placement lead, admissions tutor and assessment officer. I am also a moving and handling trainer within the allied health professions department.

I have taught on and led inter-professional teaching across the College of Health, Wellbeing and Life Sciences and is also currently involved in multidisciplinary teaching to aid workforce development and integrated practice for service providers.

I completed an evaluation of a bespoke training course, designed and delivered by SHU and the impact on integrated practice, as part of her MSc in Advancing Professional Practice. Aimee now has a supervisory role within PG dissertations.

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

I teach within the College of Health, Wellbeing and Life Sciences to Allied Health Professions and across the Physiotherapy Courses (BSc, MSc pre-reg, Apprenticeship and MSc).

I am also part of the SHU course team who designed and delivered an Integrated Assessor training course to qualified Health and Social Care professionals. Courses have been delivered across the North-West of England and within Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. The aim was to aid workforce development and integrated practice.
