Emily Patrick BSc, FHEA, HCPC
Senior Physiotherapy Lecturer
Summary
I joined Sheffield Hallam University in 2018 after working clinically as a Physiotherapist in the NHS.
As a senior Physiotherapy lecturer I have experience in teaching and assessing students across the various routes of Physiotherapy in both practice experience and university settings. My role involves mentoring and supporting students and staff along with the development and running of course modules. I also have experience in leading course recruitment and assessment processes.
About
My career in the NHS began in 2007 as a therapy assistant within a neurological rehabilitation unit working with patients who had brain injuries and spinal injuries. Working alongside physiotherapists within a multi disciplinary team confirmed my decision to pursue a career as a physiotherapist myself and so I attended Sheffield Hallam University as a mature student. I graduated in 2011 and started my career as a qualified physiotherapist in the NHS rotating around core clinical areas to gain knowledge and experience followed by working in senior roles where I specialised within services for frail elderly patients and complex discharges from hospital. I supervised junior physiotherapists, non-qualified therapy staff and physiotherapy students which I enjoyed and found rewarding sparking my interest in teaching.
In September 2018 I joined the Sheffield Hallam University physiotherapy team where I can continue to teach students and share my knowledge and skills to inspire the future Physiotherapy workforce. I am an academic advisor supporting and mentoring students through the course and I have specialised in roles such as Admissions Lead contributing to the recruitment of students and Assessment Lead ensuring students are assessed in line with university policy and procedures.
