Andrei Boca

Physiotherapist

I am a seasoned physiotherapist with a history spanning over 18 years in private practice and 9 years within the NHS. I possess a strong sense of empathy and am driven by achieving goals, showcasing dynamism and perseverance. Additionally, I maintain consistency and thoroughness in my professional endeavors, coupled with a friendly demeanor and proficient communication skills in English, Italian, and Romanian. I am committed to continuous improvement, always seeking to enhance my skills and knowledge.

Currently, my role within the NHS entails providing specialized safety netting and community services as an integral part of the Merton Enhanced Home-Based Rehabilitation team. Concurrently, I also engage in private practice within the community.

I have chosen to participate in this new project due to my fervent dedication to aiding individuals in reclaiming their fundamental abilities and functioning at their fullest potential within the familiarity and security of their own homes.

My areas of expertise include Musculoskeletal (MSK), Orthopedics, Sports Injuries, Neurology, Fall Prevention, Postoperative Rehabilitation, Elderly Care, Case Management, and Prevention of Admissions.

As an enthusiastic learner, I am committed to self-improvement, evidenced by my completion of a diverse array of postgraduate courses and the development of an extensive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) portfolio, which encompasses the most cutting-edge techniques and rehabilitation procedures available.

I graduated from the Faculty of Movement, Sport, and Health Sciences at the University of Bacau, Romania with an Honours Degree in 2006. A year later, I made the decision to relocate to Italy, where I began my professional journey in the private sector. After five years of working in Italy, I returned to my homeland and established my own private practice. Following four successful years there, I made the decision to pursue opportunities in the UK, attracted by the abundance of professional development courses available. Upon completing my registration, I seized the opportunity to work within the NHS across various Trusts, including the Central London Community Hospitals Trust, where I am currently employed. This experience, spanning community, inpatient, and private clinic settings, has enabled me to cultivate a wealth of expertise and skills, benefiting both the NHS and private sector alike.
