Emma qualified as an Occupational Therapist (OT) in 1992 and has worked in both health and social care sectors. She has built on her knowledge and skills in client-centered assessment, formulation and delivery of goal orientated treatment plans to support and facilitate individuals in overcoming loss of functional independence, be it temporary or permanent. Along side her Case Management work, Emma is currently Clinical Lead OT in oncology and palliative care, working across an acute hospital trust and the community and delivering education and training to colleagues.

Emma carries a complex case load, including individuals with complex and rapidly changing needs as a result of malignant brain tumours and malignant spinal cord compression. She supports both clients and families experiencing changes to functional level of independence and the psychological impact this may have. In 2022, Emma was awarded a hospital trust award for the work she delivers supporting those living with a brain tumour to live well.
