The SHARC Team:
My name is Louise Fawcett and I am a Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapist.
I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2013 and have been a specialist in paediatrics for the last 7 years. I have extensive experience in a variety of community and acute settings covering all age ranges and feel this has provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to confidently assess and treat children with all physical needs. I have spent many years working in the NHS and since the start of 2020 I have worked at Treloar’s Special Education School with children with very complex additional needs and it has been educational, rewarding and fun. My specialist areas are paediatric neurology and developmental physiotherapy with a specialist interest in hydrotherapy. I am able to measure and prescribe DMO Lycra and can offer sports massage in addition to physiotherapy sessions. I have two girls of my own and one with a rheumatology condition which requires her to do regular physiotherapy, and we make this great fun! Socially I enjoy spending time at the beach, keeping active and taking our dog out with the family. I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, Health Care Professionals Council and Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists.

I have been working in this specialist field for over 12 years. I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2007 after completing my initial junior rotations within the NHS, I was keen to follow my interest in supporting young people with a focus in both neurology and respiratory. My extensive clinical experience in a variety of settings including acute inpatients including NICU and maternity through to community, seeing young people of all ages in both the comfort of their own homes to their educational settings. After many years working in the NHS in 2019 I joined the team at Treloar’s Special Education School with children with very complex additional needs. The work I have been able to do at Treloar’s makes me feel even stronger that children, no matter how complex their physical disability has the right to access high-quality physiotherapy treatment and support to be the best that they can be.

I have completed the introduction to Bobath, Foundation level in hydrotherapy as well as being able to measure and prescribe DM Orthotics lycra.
