Alex is a Senior Occupational Therapist (OT) within the West Midlands Neuropsychiatry Service in the UK, which also encompasses the Regional Huntington’s Disease (HD) Service. In 2022, she was honoured with the inaugural Health & Social Care Excellence award from the Huntington's Disease Association (HDA). In addition to her clinical role, Alex is an Honorary Clinical Lecturer and HD Module Lead for the MSc Neuropsychiatry course at the University of Birmingham and teaches OT on the HDA’s Professional Course.
