About

My clinical expertise is in the musculoskeletal arena, with rheumatology as a particular interest. I am specifically interested in how people adaptation to living with a chronic musculoskeletal condition. My masters concentrated on the validation of an instrument to assess the adherence to joint protection behaviours in people with rheumatoid arthritis. I completed my masters at Wayne State University in Detroit, USA.

I have an interest in how the occupational therapy profession is developing world wide, as well as an interest in how changes in (European) healthcare are affecting the profession.

I am a member of the College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Section on Rheumatology and the British Health Professionals in Rheumatology.

I am a member of the College of Occupational Therapists, the Dutch Occupational Therapy Association as well as the World Federation of Occupational Therapists
