About Hilary
Associate Professor in Physiotherapy at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels including PhD supervision. I am particularly involved with teaching of neurology, but also have expertise in other areas of clinical practice, including elderly care and falls management. Alongside my teaching work I am actively involved in research, and completed my PhD in April 2015. My research areas relate to balance and falls, with a focus on people with neurological conditions. Within the programme I am also responsible for developing and support research activities
Teaching
I enjoy being involved with the ongoing delivery and development of the pre-registration physiotherapy programmes and post grad Advanced professional practice modules. My academic work allows me to utilise a variety of teaching methods and approaches, and include a blend of the academic and practical work. I am also module lead for the School wide research dissertation module which blends my academic and research skills and knowledge to support and facilitate students and staff across six professional programmes.
I am closely involved with the teaching of the adult neurology and elderly care elements of the course at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level. This includes relevant patho-physiology, anatomy, and related theory as well as ensuring that the management side of our work remains current and evidence based. The close links between this aspect of my work and my current research activity is extremely valuable in his context.
