Sophie Gilhooly BSc

Lecturer


Summary

I am a Senior Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist working part time in the NHS and part time at Sheffield Hallam. In my clinical work, I have a particular interest in shoulders as well as having worked in premiership football and with elite athletes! I take a proactive approach to engaging patients in taking control of their health and promote physical activity on a daily basis. More recently I have engaged in research to develop telehealth resources to support the economic developments within our profession! I am passionate and enthusiastic and would encourage anyone to strive to achieve their in work and life!

 

About

I graduated from Teesside University in 2015 and since then have experienced a broad range of specialities, eventually deciding to specialise in Musculoskeletal practice. I am also studying to complete my Masters degree.

In my clinical work I enjoy rehabbing patients post surgery or following acute trauma as well as supporting those with more chronic conditions. Whilst working at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, I have worked closely within the Spinal team however more recently have moved to working with the trauma and orthopaedic shoulder team. I take a proactive approach to engaging patients in taking control of their health and promote physical activity on a daily basis.

I have undertaken research into telehealth services within physiotherapy and presented at several conferences including winning presenter prize at the Physiotherapy Research Conference. I strongly believe research should form part of all clinicians and students practice and are open to supporting those who wish to explore the research discipline.
