Abigail van den Heever is a Clinical Lead at Practice Plus Group MSK & Spinal Service, Lincolnshire. Her career at Practice Plus Group began in 2013.

Her story illustrates how specialised community services and positive patient feedback can significantly enhance a career in physiotherapy.
The transition to a Clinical Lead role in 2020 marked a significant milestone, allowing Abigail to split the week between clinical practice and administrative responsibilities, maintaining a connection with core physiotherapy while embracing her new leadership role. She says, “Since joining Practice Plus Group, I have developed and progressed with the help of the close and supportive team over the years.”
At Practice Plus Group, we offer a rich environment for career development, particularly through our Physiotherapy and Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service (CATS). The service operates from community clinics, including GP surgeries and small hospitals, and specialises in treating a range of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, from spinal issues to peripheral ailments.
Abigail’s experience highlights how a career in specialised community services can enhance both clinical skills and career prospects and became pivotal in advancing her career. She adds, “I love this variation in my role: it means I am not losing touch with physiotherapy from the ground up.”
Abigail also mentioned how embracing patient feedback can significantly enhance a career in physiotherapy. She believes that the fulfilment you get from positive patient feedback about making a significant difference in their lives can drive career growth and open doors to leadership and specialised roles in physiotherapy.
