Ellen Fossett
Ellen is a Senior University Lecturer and Lead Physiotherapist, based in London, with experience in both NHS and private care. She has a Neuro therapy background, previously working in community within Central London as part of the Community Neuro Team treating a wide range of conditions including Stroke, Parkinson’s, Motor Neurone Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.
She now specialises in Falls Prevention across Central London. This includes the assessment and management of dizziness and balance training, with a focus on older adults.

Ellen and Skye delivered a thorough, well structured and easy to understand series of talks over the weekend which made the topic of vestibular conditions which often feels very complex as simple as I’ve ever heard it discussed!
They were able to adapt to a group who had varying knowledge and skill levels by offering some sections for all of us and some split into more basic and more advanced approaches. We would highly recommend their course to upskill, refresh or develop physiotherapists in their assessment and treatment of patients with vestibular conditions. They were easy to host and were very friendly, approachable and happy to answer our questions and imparted their excellent knowledge in a way that was easy to understand and transfer to the real world of patient care.
