Each month JustPhysio would like to recognise one of our locums for their personal achievement and commitment to the Physiotherapy service.

Name: Kate Medd

Profession: Physiotherapist

Where are you from? Sunderland, Tyne and Wear

Current Locum position?
Physiotherapy Practitioner - Accident and Emergency Grade 7/8a

What do you like about your job? I love the variety of conditions and injuries that I get to see on a daily basis. I also enjoy being able to treat patients who present with acute conditions to give them the advice and education they need to help prevent the condition becoming chronic in nature. The role has allowed me to progress my clinical skills and assessment of fractures and acute injuries.

Personal achievements within your role?
I have completed a radiology course and am now able to prescribe x-ray’s and interpret simple x-ray findings.

How do you unwind from work?
I spend my weekends skydiving and during the week go to the gym!
