Carol graduated from the University of Bradford, England, before starting her career as a rotational physiotherapist within the NHS at Airedale Foundation Trust. This role gave her extensive experience across a wide range of specialties—from A&E to neurology, amputees to orthopaedics—building a strong clinical foundation that would later prove invaluable in musculoskeletal (MSK) medicine and occupational health.

​

She went on to lead a multidisciplinary team at Bradford Teaching Hospital, ensuring seamless patient care across various specialties. Carol then moved to New Zealand, where she practiced as a senior MSK physiotherapist across 10 private clinics before being recruited as a senior clinical occupational physiotherapist for one of Oceania’s leading occupational health companies.

​

With years of experience as an on-site and virtual occupational health & MSK clinician in New Zealand and the UK, Carol has now returned to Ireland, bringing her expertise to benefit local businesses and individuals. She is dedicated to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care and has worked across a diverse range of industries, including healthcare, elite sports, energy, pharmaceuticals, engineering, construction, education, retail, logistics, social housing, food & drink, agriculture, and facilities management.

​

Carol is a recognized leader in workplace health and ergonomics. She spearheaded a national Ergonomics at Work campaign in collaboration with the Small Firms Association (SFA) & OBEC and became the face of the #MoveAtWork European campaign promoting healthy work habits. Her expertise is sought after by leading institutions—she has been invited to teach at Trinity College Dublin, RCSI, UCC, Portobello Institute, and more.

​

Most recently, Carol was invited to join a stakeholders' forum with the Faculty of Occupational Medicine, contributing her insights to help shape Ireland’s healthcare policies.​
