The University Promotions Committee has agreed the promotion of Sue Hunter.

Dr Sue Hunter qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in Manchester and worked in the NHS for 14 years.  Sue initially became involved in physiotherapy education in 1990 at Teesside University as a visiting lecturer, and in 1997 became one of the first physiotherapy Lecturer-Practitioners in the UK, via a post at Keele and North Staffs CHC Trust.  In 2000, Sue was awarded the Bernard Isaacs Memorial Fellowship from Research into Ageing to undertake a three-year full-time PhD in the School of Postgraduate Medicine at Keele, focusing on physical therapy intervention for the hemiplegic upper limb.  Sue moved to a full time lectureship in SHAR in 2003 where she has had leading roles in developing links with the NHS, curriculum development, clinical governance and evidence-based practice.  She has developed clinical research locally in collaboration with NHS partners and colleagues in The Research Institute for Social Sciences.  Sue has attracted grants from Research into Ageing, NHS R&D, Action Medical Research and The Stroke Association totalling almost £0.5 million, and has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals.

This promotion is, as always, subject to the formal ratification of Senate and Council.
