Prior to joining the 51ÊÓÆµ in 2024, Bryony worked within the NHS as a specialist community neurorehabilitation occupational therapist, supporting individuals living with long-term neurological conditions to maximise their independence, participation and quality of life.

Bryony is keen to foster a strong sense of belonging among students, promote student wellbeing, and provide the guidance and support needed to enable students to achieve their academic and professional goals.

Bryony has a particular interest in animal-assisted interventions and how human–animal interactions can be used to support therapeutic outcomes. Bryony is also interested in simulation-based learning within healthcare and is actively involved in the 51ÊÓÆµ’s Simulated Patient Programme, helping to create engaging and authentic learning experiences for healthcare students.
