Introducing Tab Heeley – Clinical Standards Officer
BAPO is pleased to welcome Tab Heeley to the BAPO team as the new Clinical Standards Officer.
Tabby graduated from the University of Salford in 2017, and began her career working as a prosthetist across the West Midlands and North Wales. Since March 2024, Tabby has taken up the role of Clinical Skills Tutor at the University of Salford, and has also taken on the Clinical Standards Officer role within BAPO. She continues to enjoy practising prosthetics one day a week, at the Wrexham Artificial Limb and Appliance Centre.
Tabby is openly autistic, and has a special interest in neurodiversity; through her work with the University and with BAPO, she hopes to challenge perceptions of autistic people both within our profession, and in the wider world.
