• Certified in First Aid, CPR, and patient manual handling

Experience

Isha earned a First-Class Honours BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy from Keele University in 2020, sharpening her skills across ICU, stroke, burns, and orthopedic wards in leading UK hospitals. Returning to B.C., she joined Surrey Memorial Hospital—first on the Medicine Unit, then in the fast-paced Emergency Department—delivering bedside exercise programs, guiding safe transfers, and streamlining discharge plans under tight timelines. These high-acuity roles confirmed her passion for client-centred rehab, a focus she now brings to mobile care with Chipperfield.
