We are a clinical advisory group aiming to promote the importance of dedicated orthoptic services for individuals who have had a stroke or neurological deficit.

Joined November 2015
So pleased to be one of the new NIHR senior investigators announced today; nihr.ac.uk/career-developmen… Great to have recognition of orthoptic research and am looking forward to supporting more orthoptists in their own research journeys going forwards.
