Qualifying as an Orthotist in 1981, Stephen worked clinically both in adult and paediatrics managing the full range of Orthotic provision and treatment. Throughout his career he has managed both private contracted and in house directly provided services with responsibility for up to 15 clinicians covering a regional group. During this time, he also added a Diploma in Management Studies and a CIM Marketing Diploma to his educational qualifications.

In 2003, whilst working as Product Manager for Medistox, a UK Bracing and Support product supplier, Stephen introduced cranial remoulding to the UK and has since been overseeing up to six clinicians who have successfully treated approximately 4,000 infants.

Medistox was acquired in 2005 by Ossur, large multinational Orthopaedic company and in 2009 working with Ossur, he developed the PlagioCare system using a lightweight portable camera and lightweight cranial remoulding orthosis which gives extremely successful results. Since its introduction to the UK and Europe, this system has treated well over 3,000 infants. He remains a consultant to Ossur, advising on technical and clinical developments.

Initially working with referrers from the NHS, the focus changed in 2004 with a private clientele emerging as the NHS established a position which was against treatment for this condition. He developed a clinic working in 10 Harley Street, London. This clinic developed from one half day on alternate weeks to three full days per week and in July 2005 a new partner was found to continue to help manage this client group.

Since this time, Stephen has managed up to six clinicians in three main and four satellite clinics. He has held the senior management role working for Technology in Motion, a subsidiary of Ossur for the whole of this time. In 2011 he and Sandie Waddell acquired the Technology in Motion Ltd business and he continues as a clinician and Managing Director of the Company.

He remains the UK lead clinician in this field and present nationally and internationally on cranial remoulding treatment.

He is active within the Profession and from 2008 to 2010 was the Chair of the British association of Prosthetists and Orthotists (BAPO). He continues to sit on the Executive Committee as Secretary of the Association and also sits on the Finance Committee. He is active in promoting the Profession as opportunity arises.
