Jourja Pattrik
STUDENT
I’m a second year student who is eager to learn about new developments in our field. I felt BAPO was the best place for me to expand my knowledge and understanding through all their work. I also felt the Editorial Committee was an essential part of BAPO due to their great work with the magazine which is how I first knew about them.

Hi, I am Chiazoka Ezeuzo (Mary),
I am an internationally trained Prosthetist and Orthotist, from Nigeria, currently practising as an Orthotist with Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust. I have over 5 years of practice. I am passionate about leadership, education and preceptorship programmes to ease transitioning of graduates into full practice. My enthusiasm to always learn and improve my skills prompted my joining the BAPO editorial committee to work together with other members in building the BAPO connection and the general association.
