Louise Payne BSc. MCSP. HCPC
I have over 25 years’ experience working as a Chartered Physiotherapist in the NHS. I qualified from Brunel University in 1994, and work as the Team Lead and Senior Community Physiotherapist at the Princess Royal Hospital (in Haywards Heath). I also worked at a local hospice for 10 years as the Senior Palliative Care Physiotherapist. In the past 20 years’ I have specialised in rehabilitation in and around the home to prevent falls, improve balance, confidence and patient safety. I can assist patient’s build-up strength following a hospital admission or during periods of immobility. I’m also trained in orthopaedic rehab (following fractures or joint replacements) and pulmonary rehab having supported patient’s with variety of respiratory conditions.
I am passionate about my role as a Physiotherapist and take my training and professional development very seriously. I recently qualified as a Postural Stability Instructor, through Later Life Training. The 4-month intensive training course was specifically designed to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls. See below for my professional memberships that certify me to practice and support my professional development. Finally, on a personal note, I was born and brought up in Hurstpierpoint and live with my husband and two grown-up sons. I enjoy the local countryside, running and pilates.
