Profile

Jason is well-respected, organised, and passionate Rehabilitation Case Manager, sepcialising in the management of clients who have suffered amputation and complex polytrauma.

Jason strongly believes in empowering clients to reach their maximal rehabilitation potential and assisting them with focussing and achieving what they can do, rather than what they cannot do. He is highly knowledgeable and up to date with the latest advances in prosthetic rehabilitation and has developed close working relationships with both NHS and private providers to maximise post-amputation function.

Always ensuring he maintains high clinical standards, provides evidence-based and goal-focussed rehabilitation, writes robust reports and builds trust with all stakeholders, he has a strong presence within the personal injury sector. He was a finalist in the CMSUK “Catastrophic Case Manager of the Year” in 2023.

Jason has a very strong work ethic, outstanding interpersonal skills with the ability to establish rapport and build trust relationships with clients and colleagues.

Due to his specialist interest in amputee rehabilitation, Jason has become increasingly involved with national amputee charities such as The Limbless Association and Limb Power. He volunteers yearly at the Limb Power Games and attends / participates in various amputee / disability charity events.
