By Mr Mohammad Shoaib

About the speaker:

Mr Mohammad Shoaib is a Pain Specialist Physiotherapist, working in the health service for the last 9 years. He initially specialised in Musculoskeletal (MSK) in the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire with very rich cultural diversity. This influenced Mr Shoaib’s interest in why there was such a difference in expectations of patients attending musculoskeletal outpatient departments, but in particular, regarding pain management, leading to sub-specialism in pain management. Mr Shoaib is now Co-Convenor of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’s Black and Minority Ethnic network group. He has published abstracts in the British Journal of Pain and Physiotherapy journal. He has also written articles for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’s publication, Frontline. He lectures nationally on the influence of culture on health, in particular, pain, to undergraduate and postgraduate students for a variety of future health professionals. In 2018, his work was recognised by the National Institute of Clinical and Health Excellence (NICE) as a Shared Learning Example. In 2019, he is contributing to a book chapter and will present at the World Confederation of Physical Therapy Congress in Geneva.
