Overview

Career Overview:
I have been an academic at Cardiff University since 2014, following a career practicing Physiotherapy in South Wales.  My clinical specialism was in the Musculoskeletal field of Physiotherapy where I worked for many years as an Extended Scope Practitioner. My previous role within the NHS provided a vast experience of Practice Education and Clinical Placement tutoring.
I have previously been Programme Manager for the BSc Hons Physiotherapy programme and designed the MSc Pre-registration Physiotherapy programme which commenced in 2022.  I am a  Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and have completed a Post Graduate Certificate in University Teaching and Learning.
I am passionate about providing an excellent student experience and my scholarly research has focused on the recruitment and admissions practices in Physiotherapy.  Currently I am the Interim Education Dean in the College of Biomedical and Life Sciences and the Director of Learning and Teaching in the School of Healthcare Sciences.
Teaching Overview:
I teach across mutliple modules within physiotherapy and other healthcare programmes, mainly focusing on Anatomy, Biomechanics, Exercise and Musculoskeletal practice.  However, I also have a strong interest in Sustainable Healthcare and reducing health inequity, thus my teaching also covers these areas in depth. 
I have supervised a number of projects (Undergraduate and Postgraduate) investigating the use of the Anti-gravity Treadmill in relation to rehabilitation practices, but my main scope is supporting and mentoring collegues with education development and programme design.
Engagement:
I occasionally blog about academic life (https://jillfromrhyl.wordpress.com) and tweet as @jillfromrhyl

Research

My research interests fall under two areas.  I have conducted small scale scholarly projects investigating recruitment practices within physiotherapy, with a focus on fairness, inclusivity, and unconscoius bias.  I also conduct educational projects examining impact of educational innovation in practice.

The other area of interest lies within rehabilitation and biomechanics.  I have conducted research investigating landing mechanics relating to netball, and I currently supervise a range of UG and PG research projects investigating the use of the Anti-gravity (Lower Body Positive Pressure) treadmill during walking and running.

Teaching

I am an experienced educator and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) having also gained a PGcUTL qualification in 2017. I teach and examine across physiotherapy and other healthcare professional modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

I have extensive experience of programme and school-wide leadership, including curriculum re-design and approval. I am an experienced external examnier and external reviewer, having worked with a number of universities at BSc and MSc level.
