Ursula MacFarlane

A SHU graduate and a registered occupational therapist for over 26 years, my current seconded role is AHP Workforce Supply Project Lead for the NHS South Yorkshire. In this role I am progressing key workstreams aligned with the National AHP team and  am part of the team that comprise the SY AHP Faculty.  The aim of the faculty is to enable workforce supply, advance career development, and maximise and diversify the talent of the current and future AHP workforce.  Previous roles include the role of Occupational Therapy Service Manager at Barnsley Hospital, which I undertook for 12 years prior to my current secondment.  I also have a wide range of clinical and managerial experience both here and in New Zealand, with a particular focus on vocational rehabilitation, chronic pain and Rheumatology.
