Kia ora, ko Sarah Boyt tōku ingoa.

I am a Physiotherapist advising in our Clinical Advisory Services team and I am currently based in the South Island. I trained in Auckland graduating in 2006. I have predominantly spent my working career in the paediatric space, based in various special school settings within the wider Auckland region. I was an EMS assessor with varying accreditation for 15 years.

I started working for Enable New Zealand Ltd in 2022 as a Clinical Services Advisor in the Disability Support Services (DSS) team. I am currently filling the role of Service Manager for the ACC MRES Clinical Advisory Services team. I am passionate about working collaboratively with all Health professionals and supporting assessors with all equipment prescription to achieve optimal outcomes for all users of Assistive Technology (AT), their whānau and support people. A quote from a recent NZ based research article that struck a chord ““Prescribing assistive devices for short-term or long-term use is deceptively complicated yet has the potential to make a world of difference to the user.”
