Profile
Biography
Having worked for many years in the NHS leading musculoskeletal outpatient departments, Sue Innes decided to bring her clinical expertise into the academic environment. She works part-time in Higher Education and as a clinical physiotherapist in private practice and values the material provided by her patients that supports her teaching role. Her role at the University of Essex is to develop and lead the delivery of the Post-Graduate Musculoskeletal Practice and SonographyPathway. This pathway enables expert clinicians to extend their scope of practice and critically evaluate their clinical role at a high level. She has completed a Profesional Doctorate researching the role of the clinical role of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging for physiotherapists. Current research interests include professional application of musculoskeletal ultrasound, optimising engagement with activity, the impact of therapeutic interventions on exercise related musculoskeletal symptoms and the therapeutic alliance.
