Bridge the Gap Between Research Evidence and Clinical Confidence

Structured Learning for Real Results

Everyone arrives here with a different problem - wondering how to splint 'non-routinely' after stroke, a nagging feeling that the 'usual approaches' don't match the clients with moderate to severe upper limb impairment seen everyday in the clinic, or how to promote function in the context of dystonia. Kathy synthesises 35 years of clinical practice, CPD presentations, university teaching and research into actionable decisions and skills that you can apply from day one.
