Rehabilitation in Palliative Care ECHO

Meet the facilitator

Giridhar Ravi (Ravi), Specialist Palliative Physiotherapist based at Highland Hospice facilitates the Rehabilitation in Palliative Care ECHO.

Ravi comes from a small town called Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, India. Ravi continued to work in India after qualifying in 2005 before coming to the UK in 2006 to pursue an MSc Applied Physiotherapy.

Ravi has worked at Highland Hospice since 2008 providing specialist interventions for patients with complex palliative care needs within the in-patient unit and community support service. Ravi is also a joint lead in palliative respiratory and palliative neuro rehabilitation.

Why Rehabilitation in Palliative Care ECHO?

This ECHO network aims to bring together a community of practice for participants, from different clinical backgrounds, who are working towards rehabilitation for those with life-shortening illness.

Who is it for?

The ECHO network is likely to particularly appeal to Occupational and Physio-therapists but has attracted participants from a variety of additional disciplines during its first two terms.
