He has always worked in multidisciplinary (MD) settings and this has enabled him to understand how collaborative working provides the most effective outcome for our patient groups.

These MD relationships covered the key players in MSK cases such as Physiotherapists, sports doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists, GP’s, chiropractors, osteopaths, strength and conditioning teams and soft tissue therapists.
