After gaining a firm foundation at Doncaster Royal Infirmary she further specialised in the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Caroline's clinical skills have been continually updated via post graduate education and independent study.

She quickly grew into a Senior post at DRI where she provided a strong lead in the management of a busy department.

This has lead to her having a key role in the clinical development of colleagues with formal teaching and clinical supervision.Caroline has also worked in the private sector since 2003. This has been, and remains, an exciting part of her career giving her the opportunity to develop a quality, patient centred business providing timely intervention to patients from a wide range of sources. Caroline has a keen interest in looking at ways of how to continue to expand our service to best meet the needs of patients in the future.
