Throughout my life, whether walking through woodland or gazing over a field of ripening rice stalks, I have used nature for my own wellbeing. It has felt natural, therefore, to bring this into my current role at work, setting up projects that encourage patients to interact with the green spaces on their doorstep. I look forward to sharing some of our learning with you.

Throughout her career she has worked in a range of settings including a community learning disability team, an inpatient neurological rehab unit and a local charity providing support to people living with long-term neurological conditions. 

Amy joined the Hospice of St Francis in 2023 and works 3 days a week in the Community Team, bringing her unique OT perspective to enable community patients to optimise their function and ultimately, their overall quality of life.  Amy has always enjoyed facilitating therapeutic groupwork sessions, running workshops and training sessions both for patients and carers and with fellow clinicians.  These skills lend themselves well to her Lecturer Practitioner role, which she took on in early 2024.
