Sarah Wolujewicz
Clinical Specialist, Pelvic Health Physiotherapy, Cardiff & Vale University Health Board (UHB), NHS Wales
I completed my physiotherapy degree at the University of the West of England Bristol, in 2005. My journey into pelvic health physiotherapy (PHP) started in 2010 at St George’s Healthcare NHS Trust, London, as part of a B6 musculoskeletal physiotherapy rotation. Everyone who’d spent time with the PHP team absolutely loved the rotation and so I wanted to give it a try. I found it really interesting and rewarding - and it was amazing to see the difference we can make to people’s lives.
I then worked in Band 7 and B8a PHP roles at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, before moving to Wales in 2021 after deciding to live closer to family and friends and to give up the ‘rat race’ of London. I’ve been lucky to work with fantastic and inspirational colleagues who are incredibly passionate about pelvic health.
I am currently the B8a Clinical Specialist for the PHP team at Cardiff & Vale University Health Board, NHS Wales. My current job role consists of clinical work and helping to support and develop the team and service. Since I started, we’ve launched an antenatal education session, a pregnancy pain session, developed a colorectal service including male patients, re-started an in-service training and mentoring programme, and successfully recruited into a new Band 4 Physiotherapy Assistant Practitioner post – and much more! It’s been a challenging move to a new country with a different healthcare system – but the scope for the future is very exciting and my main goal is to improve PHP care for people living in Wales. I am currently in my final year of the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice (Pelvic Health) at Brunel University.
Chrissie and Sarah took on the shared role of Area Rep for Wales in late-2023 and plan to run 2-3 virtual events per year.
