@paulfen2014@OnlinePhysios@Retlouping@marklaslett_NZ@RobYeldham@JHaleATX I also do a little expert witness work, which is very interesting! I do worry about the speed of change, but Iβm currently training with an American PT who is 83! She is learning how to work Zoom and WhatsApp whilst passing on her passion for electrical stimulation!
@paulfen2014@OnlinePhysios@Retlouping@marklaslett_NZ@RobYeldham@JHaleATX Very late 40βs, still learning every day & always striving to be a better clinician. Iβve dabbled with research but my passion is clinical practice. I collaborate with paediatric therapists all over the world and strive to keep moving with the ever changing landscape.
