About Hera Health
Having experienced fast paced clinical environments in companies where patients can sometimes feel like a number and practitioners can feel rushed, Victoria set-up Hera Health to offer patients the opportunity to have the time to tell their story, be heard, and engage in the decisions around their care. This allows her the freedom to evaluate each patient as a whole and approach treatment in an individualised manner. This is when physiotherapy is most beneficial to patients.
Victoria has been a chartered physiotherapist since 2007 and is also qualified in clinical Yoga and Pilates. Throughout her career she has gained a breadth of experience in orthopaedic, musculoskeletal, and women’s health physiotherapy. Victoria was head of the physiotherapy department for Nuffield Health in Staffordshire and managed the team across a busy hospital and wellbeing centre focusing on advancing healthcare delivery for patients. She developed new services to improve care for patients and link together aspects of the care journey to optimise outcomes. These included a women’s health service, a post-operative return-to-activity programme and a pre-operative pathway to prepare patients for surgery.
Victoria led hospital-wide projects to optimise efficiency of care and improve options for patients, including a day-case joint replacement pathway, which was subsequently adopted by the hospital group nationally. Victoria believes in delivering excellent service quality and has had projects recognised as outstanding by the CQC. She has worked with the whole spectrum of healthcare providers from consultants to personal trainers, giving her a wealth of understanding of the patient journey.
