Linda qualified in 1984 from the University Hospital of Wales.

She specialised in Trauma and Orthopaedics after a general two year rotation at  Gloucestershire Royal Hospital where she met Clare Woodward.

After her third baby Linda changed tack and began working in the community visiting patients in their own homes and treating a wide range of conditions - the elderly struggling with balance issues and falls or those requiring ongoing treatments following joint replacements or treating those patients diagnosed with neurological disorders.

When a position in the NHS Cardiac Rehabilitation Service was advertised, Linda jumped at the chance to learn more about the importance of physiotherapy intervention in those patients diagnosed with a cardiac condition or post heart surgery. She stayed in this role for several years.

Linda worked as a specialist physiotherapist in the NHS Gloucestershire Falls and Education Service for a few more years after this before joining the NHS Post Covid Syndrome Service in its infancy and helping to develop the service from an assessment only service to a rehabilitation service offering advice and support to those diagnosed with Long Covid.

Linda also works at the Winfield Hospital in Gloucester where she rehabilitates patients following their hip, knee, spine and shoulder surgery.

In her free time Linda enjoys playing tennis, padel and gardening.
