Additional funding has been secured to expand our newly established Specialist Children's Community Physiotherapy Service.

You will work alongside the current Children's Specialist Community Respiratory Physiotherapist and the wider Children's Integrated Therapies Physiotherapy Team and CYP Nurses, supported by the Professional Lead for Physiotherapy and Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioner in adult community respiratory. You will collaborate with teams at Oxford University Hospital to facilitate early supported discharge and admission avoidance where possible.
