Babs was previously the Head of Activities & Physiotherapy here at Tyspane, but now works only as the Physio Assistant.
Her main interests are keeping fit and she spends a lot of her spare time as a fitness instructor, holding various classes around the local community.
In 2016, she was awarded the 'Devon Best Practice Award' for her flexicise class. She owns our three 'paper dogs' – her three Maltese – who deliver papers with her in the morning.
She is band 4 in physio and really tries to make residents' days fun; she very much believes in the 'if you don’t use it, you lose it' mentality, so she always encourages residents to participate, regardless of mobility concerns, because everyone is able to do something!
