People of NUH – Meet Pip
Pip works as a rotational physiotherapist here at NUH. She started out with a degree in Sport and Exercise Science before progressing to a Masters in Physiotherapy - and she’s loved the profession ever since.
“Being a rotational physio has been a great experience. Each six-month placement gives me the chance to develop new skills and explore different specialties. So far, I’ve worked in musculoskeletal (MSK), respiratory and now neurology - supporting patients recovering from brain and spinal injuries.
I love the variety. Physio isn’t just one thing - it covers so many specialisms, which means every day is different. I also enjoy being active and hands-on with patients, not just stuck behind a desk.
Helping people regain independence is incredibly rewarding. In neuro rehab especially, we often work with patients over several months and see them progress from needing full support to being able to return home. Being part of that journey is amazing.
To me, physiotherapy is about understanding how the body moves and functions and using that knowledge to help people recover from illness or injury. Ultimately, it’s about supporting patients to regain movement, independence, and quality of life.”
And if Pip could give you one piece of advice it's this, "Physio is more than rehab - it's about understanding the body, identifying barriers, and helping people live better."
