Alison Troughton

Alison trained as an Occupational Therapist in Northern Ireland, working in the Royal Victoria Hospital before moving to London to continue her career. Alison completed her NHS rotations where she went on to specialise in treating individuals following complex trauma at St George’s hospital, one of the London’s Major Trauma Centre’s. Alison's transition into the rehab environment was influenced by the desire to help individuals on their journey to recovery. She was inspired by the resilience and determination shown by those who had experienced a life changing event yet remained highly motivated to conquer new challenges and rediscover the things they love doing. Alison has varied experience working across trauma and has developed a particular interest in amputee rehabilitation, polytrauma rehabilitation and scar management.

Katrina Mitchell

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".
