Biography
Juliette qualified as an occupational therapist (OT) in 1990. She has undertaken a range of clinical roles and began specialising in neurological rehabilitation in 1993. She has redesigned out patient neurological services in Southampton to facilitate the development of a work rehabilitation service.
In 2003 Juliette joined the OT lecturing team at the University of Southampton, she combined this role with her Clinical Specialist role in OT / vocational rehabilitation. Between 2007-2014 she undertook a PhD which explored how people with traumatic brain injury perform in the workplace and how they might be better supported. In 2018 Juliette joined the lecturing team at Bournemouth University.
Juliette delivers teaching and postgraduate doctoral supervision in her areas of expertise: neurological rehabilitation and vocational rehabilitation.
She has extensive experience in practice learning and expertise in the development of emerging areas of practice. Within this she supports the development of new areas of practice where OT students are encouraged to work with non-statutory services to identify the added value that OT might offer... More recently Juliette has supported the development of placements within primary care. Juliette is passionate about the role that OTs might play in supporting people to maintain their health and well-being through occupation.
Juliette is interested in developing intercultural competencies. She was part of an international team which was awarded EU monies to look at how the OT curricula in the UK , Sweden and Ireland might develop intercultural competencies to support practice within the home countries and share knowledge to offer new occupational perspectives on how global health and social issues might be addressed.
Juliette is delighted to be joining the team at Bournemouth University.
