Blogs & conversations In Conversation with Elizabeth Carrington: Championing new physiotherapy techniques for children

We spoke to Churchill Fellow Elizabeth Carrington about her 1973 Fellowship, which took her to Hungary, Switzerland, and Italy to explore new physiotherapy techniques for children with cerebral palsy and neurological disorders. She reflected on how the experience shaped her lifelong international career – from India to Yemen to the World Health Organization – and why she still feels so connected to the Fellowship more than 50 years on.
