​

Claire graduated with a Physiotherapy degree in 2004 and began her NHS career in Surrey, before working in New Zealand, and then relocating to Kent.

 

She has worked at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust since 2009, initially as a clinical specialist in respiratory and intensive care.  She changed roles to work in geriatrics and frailty in 2019 and continues to work there part-time. She achieved the status of Associate Fellow in 2024, and is currently working towards a post-graduate certificate at The University of Brighton. 

 

Claire commenced private practice in 2023 to provide expertise to patient groups where home services are not prioritised.  She is delighted to be able to offer greater flexibility and a truly patient-centered approach to rehabilitation.
