Angela works with adults and young people with a wide range of conditions including spinal injury, lower limb amputation, palliative care, multiple trauma, behavioural conditions and cerebral palsy and associated epilepsy. Many of the clients Angela has worked with have multiple health and social care concerns which require comprehensive assessment and planning of appropriate therapy, care, equipment and adaptations.

Working with people with multiple health concerns alongside other conditions such as obesity, diabetes, depression, anxiety and dementia, Angela is aware of the importance of considering all of these factors in co-ordinating a person’s care. She is experienced in working alongside families and advocating for people in seeking approval for local authority care or funding or sourcing appropriate private services.

Angela has extensive experience working with people who live with fatigue, neuropathic pain, chronic pain and pain syndromes. This may be as a result of traumatic injury, surgery or progressive conditions. This includes working with people with orthopaedic conditions and injuries, lower limb amputees, neurological conditions and spinal injury.

In addition, Angela has extensive knowledge of the benefits system as she sits as a Disability Qualified Panel Member in the Social Entitlements Chamber making judgements on appeals for disability benefits.

Angela has worked as an expert witness since 2010. She has extensive knowledge of the litigation process and has experience in both case conferences and experts’ meetings. This knowledge allows Angela to support her clients to navigate the litigation process on a day-to-day basis.
