Sue is one of our senior hand therapists who has recently published in a prestigious journal. She enjoys research and pays attention to the details when it comes to her patients, always looking to learn from her experiences and publish what she has learnt to share the knowledge both within our unit, as well as around the world. This recent publication was based on her academic essay for a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery online learning module. It reflects not only Sue's commitment to evidence-based practice but also her determination to improve patient outcomes through critical reflection and service improvement. The article highlights the challenges patients and clinicians can face in accessing specialist equipment and offers valuable recommendations for enhancing continuity of care and rehabilitation pathways.
Publishing is never easy. It requires perseverance, critical thinking, and a willingness to share both successes and challenges for the benefit of the wider profession. Sue's hard work and ongoing dedication to advancing clinical practice are truly inspiring - read more here.
