He has also developed a profound interest in speaking at conferences nationally and enjoys fostering continuous learning and improvement aligning with his passions and expertise. Through immense exposure to Diabetes within primary care, he has developed a tangible passion and interest over the years in how exercise and physical activity can impact on Diabetes and how he can deliver physiotherapeutic care insightfully and efficaciously under the pressures, demands and time constraints in primary care.
