Sarah graduated from the University of Nottingham in 1996. Her clinical paediatric career began in the Leicester Royal infirmary children's acute team and progressed via the community setting with a neuro disabilities and orthotic focus progressing to a special interest post in DCD. Her Masters (MMed SCi Education) reflected the changing direction of her career into higher education as an assistant professor at the University of Nottingham. Until 2013 Sarah continued her clinical interest with her local Nottinghamshire community paediatric physiotherapy team with the over 5s review, new referrals and orthotic clinics.
