Editorial Committee

Phil is the orthotic workshop manager at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. He is Chair of Editorial Committee and sits on EC in this capacity. He also one half of the Technician Committee and along with its Chair, Ian Adam, has been responsible for organising the Technician programme at BAPO Conference for many years.

Emma is an Orthotist working for the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. She has been on the Editorial Committee since graduating from the University of Salford in 2013. Her main areas of interest are spinal/scoliosis bracing and diabetes.

I’m a second year student who is eager to learn about new developments in our field. I felt BAPO was the best place for me to expand my knowledge and understanding through all their work. I also felt the Editorial Committee was an essential part of BAPO due to their great work with the magazine which is how I first knew about them.

I qualified as a Prosthetist/Orthotist BSc (hons) at the University of Salford in 2017 and in 2019 I completed a Masters by Research in Biomechanics, Biomedical Engineering and Human Movement Science. The focus of my research is upper limb prosthetics, adolescents and sport. I am a member of The Salford Institute of Human Movement and Rehabilitation and am committed to developing as a clinical Prosthetist who undertakes research.

I am a third year Prosthetics and Orthotics student at the University of Strathclyde. The student observer role on the Editorial Committee has given me an insight into different areas of P&O and the many possible career pathways. I also have a passion for sport, which I would love to combine with P&O, while exploring opportunities all over the world.
