Hannah Young
I work as a specialist physiotherapist at UHL. I led the development and implementation of a programme of exercise delivered during haemodialysis, and have led, and been involved with, several projects designed to develop, test and implement novel rehabilitation strategies for people living with kidney disease. In 2021 I completed a National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Doctoral Research Fellowship, which focused upon frailty, falls and exercise programmes for people living with kidney disease.
Favourite way to be active
I love running and yoga and have also recently taken up roller skating, but at the moment I seem to spend most of the time falling on the floor!
