Summary
I believe passionately in the clinical application and teaching of the importance of undertaking a comprehensive analysis of movement and function to identify the relationship between cause and symptoms of musculoskeletal problems .The management of patients should be the application of appropriate interventions, my particular skills being manual therapy and exercise in particular correction of movement dysfunction /motor control. I believe that a close working relationship and communication with other members of the patient's medical team is fundamental to a successful outcome.

Ruth Sephton

Honorary Fellow

Email:

Ruth qualified as a physiotherapist in 1986 and over the course of her career has specialised in the musculoskeletal field. She completed an MSc in Manual Therapy in 1999 and was awarded Fellowship of the Manipulation Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in 2008. In addition to clinical work, Ruth has extensive teaching experience at both undergraduate and postgraduate level including leadership of the Advanced Musculoskeletal Practice and Manual Therapy MSc programmes at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). In February 2004, Ruth gained the position of Consultant Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist at NHS Knowsley, a post which has research and educational links with both the University of Manchester and MMU. Ruth has had vast experience of redesigning services for patients with musculoskeletal pathology and has led the development and implementation of a Musculoskeletal Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service (MCAS) integrating both community and acute Trust musculoskeletal services.

Ruth has promoted and added to the evidence base in the musculoskeletal field. She has recently published a study carried out with Manchester University assessing the clinical outcomes in the MCAS which is one of the few studies of this type in the UK. Ruth’s work on spinal red flag pathways was awarded the British Society for Back Pain Research Presidents Award. She has presented at national conferences on various subjects within her area of expertise. Ruth has always been an active member of the MACP and has contributed to various committees over the course of her membership including being a founder member of the Committee for Educational Approval.

Susan Sriskandan

Honorary Fellow

Email:

Sue is an Extended Scope Physiotherapist at Addenbrookes hospital in the spinal service in both the neurosurgery and rheumatology teams, and is also working in private practice.

After qualifying from Kings College Hospital in 1982 she worked at Westminster hospital with Jill Guymer where she developed her interest in the treatment of patients with spinal pain, completing the MACP courses for the spine. She gained her membership of the MACP in 1990, following completion of the Management of Musculoskeletal Dysfunction Course, the approved course to membership at that time.

Sue moved to Suffolk to work at Newmarket Hospital where she worked for 27 years continuing her mentoring of students on clinical placements, a role started at Westminster hospital.

She was part of the team to develop an MSc that led to membership of the MACP at the University of East Anglia. She was the clinical co-ordinator for the course and was subsequently made an honorary visiting fellow by the university.

Sue returned to her studies gaining her MSc in Physiotherapy from the University of Hertfordshire in 2007. She is an external assessor for the University of Birmingham assessing students at the completion of their clinical placement and has contributed to the development of the assessment process at both the University of Birmingham and the University of Hertfordshire.

Karen Beeton

Honorary Fellow

Email:

Karen has worked at the University of Hertfordshire since 1996 and is Associate Head in the School of Health and Emergency Professions with responsibility for postgraduate and commercial activities. She is a past chair of the MACP and is a member of the IFOMPT Standards Committee. She has been a member of the Editorial Committee of Manual Therapy journal since its inception. Manual Therapy is a peer reviewed international journal and she is responsible for the Masterclass section, which showcases contemporary clinical issues. Her research interests are in haemophilia and quality of life and this was the focus of her PhD. She has presented at conferences across the world and has also been involved in the organisation of a wide range of events through university, national and international committees that she is involved with. She was awarded a Fellowship of the CSP in 2008 and the MACP in 2009 in recognition of my contribution to professional practice, promotion of education and research and development of the professions knowledge base and so has an in-depth understanding of the professional development needs of the physiotherapy profession. Her background and expertise means that she bring a wealth of experience of how to produce a highly successful, innovative, evidence based and well organised conference.
