Saif Hussain

I am an HCPC-registered Specialist Physiotherapist, trained in the UK, with over four years of hospital-based NHS experience across orthopaedics (trauma and elective), neurology, respiratory, ICU, and acute medicine. My clinical practice focuses on delivering evidence-based, patient-centred rehabilitation that restores function, supports recovery, promotes safe discharge planning and empowers patients to return to the activities they enjoy most.

In my current role at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, I undertake the following responsibilities:

- Manage complex and routine post-operative orthopaedic and medical cases

- Lead service development initiatives, including a Joint School rehabilitation app and structured outpatient pathways that improved recovery outcomes

- Act as a Senior Discharge Physiotherapist, coordinating MDT teams, streamlining patient flow, and mentoring junior staff

- Serve as a Clinical Educator, supporting student training and staff development

- Completed the Edward Jenner Leadership Programme, strengthening my leadership and service improvement skills
