Terri is Senior Lecturer in Occupational Therapy at the University of Worcester. She has been an Occupational Therapist for over 20 years, practising for 14 years as a specialist in the field of Stroke Rehabilitation. In her most recent years in practice, she was involved in setting up services locally to improve the quality of rehabilitation for people following stroke.

She joined the university’s occupational therapy lecturing team full time in 2015, having taught on the programme part time during the previous academic year. Her role as Practice Education Lead allows her to stay connected with clinical practice and to develop her interprofessional expertise. Terri is undertaking a PhD in which she is researching the effectiveness of simulated practice in student practice learning.
