Education Committee

The Education Committee works closely with many of our other standing committees. They are responsible for the education offering of the Association and organise BAPO’s short courses

Sandra (Sandy) Sexton

EDUCATION & PRACTICE DEVELOPMENT OFFICER; CHAIR

Sandra Sexton (Sandy) is a Prosthetist/Orthotist with a rich experience in the health, rehabilitation and education sectors. She has a strong interest in the development of services for people with a disability and a belief that their care should be provided by appropriately trained and skilled professionals. Sandy qualified in 1988 from the University of Strathclyde and has just completed a Master of Science in Development Management with the Open University.

Her many professional activities included working on the original Council for Professions Supplementary to Medicine when state registering the profession in the UK to working with the World Health Organization on their 2017 Standards for Prosthetics and Orthotics. Sandy has always demonstrated a passion for the continued development and growth of the prosthetics and orthotics sector both nationally and internationally.

        Dominic describes himself as an activist and likes to get involved directly in tasks and projects.  He focuses on patient care and experience as he views the work we do as a vocation.

                Lucie Moran

                STUDENT

                I am a second year student at the University of Strathclyde, studying for a BSc in Prosthetics and Orthotics. I really enjoy the practical side of the course, especially getting experience with patients, seeing the positive impact a Prosthetist/Orthotist can have on a person’s life and applying the theory learnt to clinical situations. I have been a student member of the Education Committee within BAPO since October 2020.
