Simon O'Shea MSc, MMACP

Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy


Summary

Alongside my senior lecturing post at Sheffield Hallam I also work clinically as an enhanced role (or extended scope) physiotherapist. I specialise in musculoskeletal outpatients and see a mixed caseload clinically. As a result, I teach on a range of modules relevant to practice. I am research active and embed this in my roles. To date this has included reliability, case study, feasibility and national observation studies in a range of topic areas.
