Here at UCLan, the Sports Therapy teaching team pride
themselves on not only the work they do inside the classrooms/lecture theatres,
but also their commitments outside the University which enable them to ‘practice
what they preach’.
As lecturer-practitioners, the Sports Therapy teaching team
believe it is important to be able to
work within the academic environment to integrate practical knowledge into
theoretical teaching. This encourages knowledge exchange between staff and
improves the level of experience the students receive.
So, here are a ‘few’ examples of previous roles held by the
current Sports Therapy teaching and management team…
