Our Team

Brian graduated from London South Bank University in 2013 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy having previously completed a BSc in Sports Science in 2004 from London Metropolitan University. Prior to qualifying as a Physiotherapist, Brian had worked for 6 years as a Physiotherapy Assistant as part of a paediatric multi-disciplinary team in North London, where he was based primarily within special and mainstream schools. Here he gained invaluable hands-on experience working with the physiotherapy team to provide specialist therapy programmes, equipment, orthotics, postural management and both land-based and hydrotherapy treatment. He also worked with the occupational therapy and speech therapy teams, which helped to consolidate his experience and further develop the holistic approach to his clients that he implements today.

After graduating, Brian remained in London working at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, where he undertook a number of specialist neurological rotations, then decided to move fully into the field of paediatrics. His experience has included acute and chronic conditions within both neurological and musculoskeletal fields, including neurosurgery and PICU (paediatric intensive care). In 2016, Brian relocated to Yorkshire where he initially worked as a locum before joining the team at Yorkshire Children’s Physiotherapy in 2017.

In addition to a number of post-graduate physiotherapy training courses, Brian has completed the Rescue Test for Supervisors of Disabled Swimmers (with the Royal Life Saving Society) and is also competent in using Makaton sign (levels 1-4) and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). He has found this particularly useful when working/communicating with his hearing impaired and autistic clients.

Brian works both within a clinic setting and in the community (including hydrotherapy) seeing a varied paediatric caseload (musculoskeletal and neuro-developmental conditions). Outside of work, he is enjoying discovering the challenges the Yorkshire countryside has to offer, getting out on his bike whenever he can!

Hannah graduated from Birmingham University in 2011 with a First Class BSc (Hons) degree in Physiotherapy. After qualifying, she worked in the Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust for 18 months before moving to London.

In London, Hannah continued her general rotations with both adults and paediatrics at St Marys Hospital. Working in a major trauma centre allowed Hannah to gain invaluable experience working on the PICU (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit) which then led her to specialise within the field of Paediatrics.

In 2014, Hannah moved to Chelsea and Westminster NHS Trust, where she completed Paediatric rotations in both the community and acute settings, including musculoskeletal outpatients. This developed her skills in equipment and orthotic provision, postural management, post-surgical SDR rehabilitation and both land-based and hydrotherapy treatment. Working as part of the Child Development Centre, Hannah has also worked alongside Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Music Therapists and Paediatricians.

Hannah is a member of the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists (APCP). She has also completed the Paediatric Immediate Life Support (PILS) course. In 2016, she attended the Management of Neonates in the Community course, led by the APCP, which further developed her assessment and treatment of pre-term infants and sparked an interest in early intervention. 

Hannah has recently relocated back to Yorkshire and we are delighted to welcome her to the YCP team, where she will be working within both a clinic setting and in the community. In her free time Hannah enjoys running and baking (although not usually at the same time!).
