Case Management
I can provide case management for adults with traumatic brain injury, limb loss and complex orthopaedic injuries.

Managing complex rehabilitation needs after injury
I am experienced in managing complex cases and building a good rapport with clients and their families. I am skilled at navigating complicated family dynamics. I have worked throughout Wales, the South and South West of England, and beyond and can put together teams of skilled treating therapists, suited to the needs of each individual client. Where possible I avoid using therapy and diagnostic agencies, preferring to instruct people who are experts in their respective fields and understand the litigation process. This helps reduce treatment costs by avoiding unnecessary agency fees. I aim to ensure the members of the multidisciplinary teams I manage are working effectively and cohesively towards meeting the client’s rehabilitation goals.
Client led rehabilitation and case management
As an independent case manager I am able to tailor my approach and reporting to meet the individual needs of my clients and instructing parties. This ensures my approach is client-led rather than process-driven. I am mindful not to take on too many clients so I can step up quickly and assist my clients in times of crisis.
