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


Name: Stacey Dangen

Profession: Physiotherapist

Where are you from? Auckland, New Zealand

Current Locum position?
Band 6 Musculoskeletal Outpatients Physiotherapist

What do you like about your job?
Mostly it’s about the people I get to meet. I have enjoyed meeting lots of different patients with such diverse cultural backgrounds and enjoy learning about them. I also love the people I work with. Over the years I have met some amazing people and some have become my closest friends. I think work would be completely different if I hadn’t have met those people.

Personal achievement’s within your role?
Personally I get satisfaction from being able to make a difference to someone’s quality of life through physiotherapy. Whether it’s helping someone to complete everyday household tasks to being able to return to sport or just being a compassionate ear to listen to their problems, I enjoy being able to help those people and potentially make a difference.

How do you unwind from work?
I love catching up with my friends either over coffee or a drink or two at home or at the local pub. Like most people I also like to travel to see new and exciting places. I especially love going to countries where I’m able to swim or lie on the beach and soak in the sunshine.
