Celine De Silva

ATOCP Global Health Advocate

I graduated from the University of East London with a first class degree in B.Sc. Physiotherapy in 2019 and I am passionate about providing community care globally. I completed 3 years of rotational positions with Central London Community Healthcare (CLCH), where I engaged with the Race Equality Network (REN) and facilitated BME student experience groups.

While working within the Learning Disability (LD) service I completed a QI project to improve access to group exercise sessions for clients with mild to moderate LD. I have worked in Zambia, and Lusaka for 6 months supporting a quality improvement (QI) project under the improving global health fellowship with Health Education England (HEE) where I was supporting the development of the national blood transfusion service.

I became a tortoise mum to my pet Taco in 2020 and love to stay active through yoga and netball. I am committed to improving equality, diversity, and inclusivity and passionate about supporting the quality of service delivery within low-resource settings.

I have been a physiotherapist for over 20 years, and a clinical specialist in trauma and orthopaedics since 2008. I have completed my Orthopaedic diploma and an MSc in Musculoskeletal Science. I have worked alongside Mr Goldberg and published a systematic review on the use of mesenchymal stem cells, and more recently been part of the stakeholder group working on weight bearing terminology and the NAFF pathway.

 I am currently the Clinical Services Manager for community therapies, a challenge I sought after completing a secondment as the AHP Faculty Lead in the HIOW ICB. In these roles I have a focus on workforce and service development and have used my networks and skills to enhance the experience our patients receive.

 I am the current co- chair of the CSP South Central Regional Branch and the co-Chair and treasurer of the physio professional network, Association of Trauma and Orthopaedic Chartered Physiotherapists.

 In my spare time I support my 2 boys with their sports clubs, taking on the admin role within their cricket teams and run director of the local junior park run, "if you can't beat them join them".
