Episode 7 - Innovation

Healthcare is changing rapidly. From electronic patient records and remote consultations to wearable technologies and artificial intelligence, physiotherapists are working in an increasingly digital world. But are we preparing our students with the capabilities they need to practise confidently, safely and effectively in these environments? Today I'm delighted to be joined by my colleague Jon Larner, Associate Professor Physiotherapy from UEA. Together, we've been working on embedding data and digital learning into our undergraduate physiotherapy curriculum, and we've had some really interesting experiences and learning along the way.

In this World PT Day special episode (September 8th 2026 - themed Stroke and Cardiovascular disease) I have the pleasure of speaking to Emeritus Professor Val Pomeroy about her career and the impact of her stroke rehabilitation research. Val is supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) HealthTech Research Centre in Brain Injury. The views expressed are hers and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.
