ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Anthony Brightwell

Anthony (Ant) graduated from ESP in 2010 and gained great physio experience in The Netherlands afterwards. Ant moved back to the UK and now – 12 years after graduation – he developed himself both as a physiotherapist and as a clinic manager of Spectrum. Ant is happy to chat about his pathway following ESP and also about what it is like to work in the UK private sector. As he is also excited to become an ESP clinical instructor in the future, we will also explore the internships options for ESP in the UK…
