I had the privilege of working with Dr. Geraldine O'Callaghan of NextStepsRehab during her engagement with St James’s Hospital, where she advised on key aspects of our Rehabilitation and Recovery Improvement Programme. Her contributions were both insightful and impactful.

Dr. O'Callaghan is a Chartered Physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience across acute, rehabilitation, and community healthcare settings. Her academic achievements—including a PhD in Population Health and an MSc in Neurology and Gerontology—reflect her dedication to advancing healthcare through evidence-based practice and innovation.

Her passion for applying Design Thinking to enhance patient recovery was evident throughout our collaboration. She brought a thoughtful, inclusive, and solution-focused approach that significantly shaped the development of our programme.
