AUTHOR(S) BIO
ALICE GREEN
Specialist Neuro-Rehabilitation Dietitian, London
Alice is a highly specialist neuro-rehabilitation Dietitian at Hillingdon Hospital in West London.
She works across three neuro-rehabilitation wards, providing complex nutrition support to patients including traumatic brain injury, stroke and a range of neurological conditions. Alice works collaboratively with speech and language therapists, managing patients transitioning from enteral tube feeding to modified texture oral diet. She is a key member of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) discussions with patients and their families around gastrostomy decisions and ethical feeding issues.
Prior to working in rehabilitation, Alice worked in cardiothoracic surgery including heart and lung transplant. Although very different in some ways, this patient group often had lengthy hospital admissions, complex feeding issues and family dynamics which required close MDT working.
Prior to moving to London, Alice worked in Liverpool for four years, including a period on a regional hyper acute stroke unit which laid the foundations of her interest in neurological conditions.
