Leading impairment-based education for outdoor programmes 

 

Since 2024, Joanna has been delivering highly rated workshops for outdoor professionals, combining her expertise in medicine, occupational therapy and mountain leadership to explore accessibility, participation and wellbeing in outdoor environments.

​

Topics include physical health conditions, cognitive and sensory differences, practical adaptations, inclusive leadership, communication, green social prescribing and strategies for supporting participation in the outdoors.
 

Designed for mountain leaders, outdoor instructors, activity providers and organisations, these workshops help professionals build confidence in working with a wider range of participants and create more accessible outdoor experiences for all.
 

New CPD opportunities and resources are currently under development in partnership with the Mountain Training Association.
 

"One of the best, if not the best, presentations I have ever received... Joanna's knowledge as both a medical professional and a mountain professional gave it just the right balance."

​

"The workshops were extremely interesting and, I dare say, transformational to my approach to consciously incorporating more accessible elements in my outdoor practice."
