My Profile Summary
Please contact me for an up-to-date copy of my resume:
My name is Pamela Guy. I am an experienced, Australian trained physiotherapist with a wealth of experience
I am still very keen to continue to practice in a field that I have loved for over 30 years, having recently sold my own practice
I am fit and healthy and prefer musculoskeletal based physiotherapy
I have worked in a variety of dynamic clinical settings in both Australia and overseas and always enjoy a new challenge and broadening my own experience. I the last year I have worked as a senior physiotherapist in the hospital environment in remote Australia and in a busy international clinic in the Middle East
I am competent, confident and friendly
I have excellent communication skills and a very good rapport with patients & most importantly sound clinical reasoning & treatment skills.
I have run my own clinic for many years & am not afraid of hard work . This also gives me the skills to slot easily into a locum position & give the principal a break and keep the practice running. Or cover for a regular staff member
I am trustworthy, conscientious, reliable and enthusiastic
I am open to where I work though my preference is for a stimulating clinical setting & one that tends to have a busy caseload
I enclose my CV.
