I have a newly published book - 'Essential Skills for Physiotherapists: A Personal and Professional Development Framework'. This explores the vital intrapersonal and interpersonal skills that physiotherapists need for continuous growth. These are rarely taught in academic courses, clinical training, and other physiotherapy textbooks – but they make all the difference for our patients!

This paved the way for an event at the Tate Modern, London, October 30th where I mentioned a huge 'why' behind this book for me...sharing all my royalties with CHI and Down Syndrome Ireland due to the care for my daughter, Grace.

Grace has Down Syndrome and has had many admissions, investigations and treatments across CHI, and will continue to do so. The care for her has been amazing. I want to help Grace and her friends. #learnandgiveback
