Hi I’m Bhanu and I qualified as a physiotherapist in 1988. I am currently working part-time as a private practitioner at Hallamshire Physiotherapy Ltd and at Sheffield Hallam University as Honorary Visiting Lecturer on neurological and professional post graduate courses, and as a researcher. I am also a qualified Fitness (gym) Instructor. I was awarded an OBE in 2016 and a PhD in 2017.
My main areas of clinical interest include elder rehabilitation and the treatment of neurological conditions including Stroke and Multiple sclerosis, but I am better known for my national and international work with people with Parkinson’s disease. I retain my input to Parkinson’s UK (formerly the Parkinson’s Disease Society) writing a column about activity for their quarterly magazine, co-authoring Fact Sheets plus conducts research into Parkinsonism. I continue to act as Project Officer for a clinical interest group of physiotherapists working with older people, through which forum I undertake Department of Health and other national projects as well as ensuring standards of good practice are disseminated to physiotherapists working with older adults.
HCPC registered.
Chartered Physiotherapist with the CSP.
