My contribution otherwise within the program focusses on gender based health issues across the four years of the program as well as Issues related to health promotion.
As testaments to my teaching effectiveness, commencing and continuing students have indicated satisfaction with the course amongst the highest achieved within teh Faculty of Health and well above teh University Average. Students' evaluations of my teaching have been encouraging over the last five years. For 25 years I have taught continence promotion and pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation to graduate Physiotherapists with international invitations to teach in Canada, USA, UK, Hong Kong, New Zealand and in Australia.
I have supervised three successful Research Masters Students and have two current PhD students
