Every professional I spoke to offered a glowing account of its ethical service provision, especially its client-centred approach. This reaffirmed my personal opinion and led to my application.

He added: " I have spent most of my career working closely with NHS occupational therapists and physiotherapists, so understand the challenges they face in terms of time and budget.
“My Theraposture region is where I have operated over the last 20 years so can fully appreciate both local and national issues.
