“Beverley is a highly skilled subject matter expert and consultant, with strong, applied knowledge of the healthcare and education sectors. In my work with Beverley as a colleague and fellow consultant, I was particularly impressed at her ability to successfully lead and deliver an important workforce project, negotiating a complex environment to provide clear direction and purpose and ensuring the involvement and buy-in of a range of senior level stakeholders throughout. She is a real pleasure to work with – always positive, collaborative, supportive and solution-oriented in her approach.”

“During my time as Chair of The British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists (BAPO) I had the pleasure of working with Dr Durrant on several projects developing resources for our profession. Dr Durrant understands healthcare and the diverse family of Allied Health Care Professions (AHP’s) in the UK and in delivering education to AHP’s.

During our projects, she gave clarity of vision, meeting everyone’s expectations on time and on budget. She worked across several organisations and engaged with stakeholders from every sector to deliver complex projects.

I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Durrant as an innovative leader for health and education projects.”

“Beverley has recently helped me sharpen and refine my writing for publication skills. I found her approachable, understanding, supportive, efficient, and very helpful.

Beverley has always demonstrated fantastic knowledge and expertise as a senior lecturer and has always been good at teaching and helping others develop.

I have really enjoyed having her help and support on both the research paper and as a lecturer”

“I recently completed a set of coaching sessions with Bev, and as someone new to professional coaching, the experience has been truly transformative. Bev’s expertise in guiding me to seek solutions and reflect on my challenges made me feel comfortable being open and honest right from the start. Through our work together, I’ve gained a renewed sense of strength, positivity, and confidence in my abilities. I’m incredibly grateful for Bev’s support and would highly recommend her to anyone considering coaching. I look forward to working with her again in the future if the need arises.”

Samantha Turner,Independent Consultant, Occupational Therapist and Educator

“In 2024, Bev mentored me during a pre-doctoral fellowship. Discussing challenges with Bev and finding solutions was highly effective in helping me progress, build confidence, and remain motivated during the fellowship and at work. Bev helped me gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of my academic and professional work. These insights led to opportunities and experiences I might not have considered without Bev’s guidance and advice. I can say without hesitation that Bev’s mentorship has been instrumental in shaping my career on academic, professional, and personal levels. I would recommend Bev to anyone considering mentorship or coaching and would work with her again if needed.”
