Katrina Mitchell

Clinical Services Manager, Community Therapy ATOCP Co Chair

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".
