Network board
William Hale, University of Birmingham, co-ordinator of the network
“‘I am currently completing my MSc in Physiotherapy at The University of Birmingham and due to start as a qualified physio summer 2020. My interest in physiotherapy for refugees has come from a volunteering experience at St Chad’s Sanctuary in Birmingham, UK in which I was able to see both refugee’s newly arriving in the UK and the continuing long term support needed in adapting to life in the UK. I feel the PREP is an invaluable opportunity to learn from experts in the field and an exciting time to be apart of a newly forming course.”
Nika Lekovsek, Alma Mater University, Slovenia.
“I am greatly interested in public health and how to, as a physiotherapist, help people re-discover what their bodies are capable. My second interest is working with refugees, or I rather say, people, coming from a different culture, where movement is of even lesser value than for us Europeans. Im involved in the MINT project, where we focus on children with an immigrant background”.
