I qualified as a physiotherapist in 1988 and have been working in the field of moving and handling people since 1996. I completed a post-graduate certificate in the subject from Loughborough University. I work with organisations who provide care, health or educational services; devising safe systems of work and assessing the manual handling needs of children and adults with disabilities who need help to move.
I also work as an Expert Witness in the same field
In addition, I continue to work as a specialist community rehabilitation physiotherapist in the NHS
I am proud to be a contributory author of the gold standard of manual handling: "The Handling of People 7th ed"

Elizabeth has completed the Bond Solon/Cardiff University Expert Witness Certificate training and has provided expert reports for solicitors for over 10 years. Instructions are received from Claimant and Defendant solicitors and sometimes jointly.
Expert reports in manual handling usually identify the person's manual handling needs currently and in the future, including any specific equipment that may be needed and how many assistants are required. These reports are often requested after an assessment by a care expert, when it is felt that more specialist knowledge of this field is needed.
On occasion, a Claimant has been harmed as a result of manual handling going wrong in a clinical or care setting and an expert report is needed to clarify the current standards and to comment on causation and liability.
