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

Name: Melissa Gutcher

Profession: Physiotherapist

Where are you from? London

Current Locum position? Working for the Supported Discharge and Rapid Response Team as a Physio/Senior Practitioner

What do you enjoy about your job?
Honestly? It’s convenient to home and the hours are good with potentially great overtime rates. Of course it’s a very rewarding job too! Love working within a large multi-disciplinary team who I can learn from and who enjoy after work drinks and numerous lunches. Love it!

Personal achievements within your role?
Starting there when the Rapid Response Team was launched I have enjoyed contributing to the development of the service while maintaining a largely patient based workload.

How do you unwind from work?
I like to watch Home & Away with a mug of tea and some chocolate, sometimes a vase of wine and a vodka or three does the trick tho.

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 items would you take?
1.)The fifty shades of grey trilogy would keep me amused
2.)A picture of Rafa Nadal
3.)Would I need to take anything else???
