Hannaniya Dereje

I am a responsible and driven 4th year chiropractic student with strong experience in clinical settings. My work in the NHS, including roles at St. Mary's Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital, has strengthened my confidence with patients and busy schedules.

I now work as a student chiropractor at London South Bank University, where I continue to build my skills in patient care, communication, and teamwork. I bring strong hands-on skills in assessing musculoskeletal conditions, delivering safe manual treatment, guiding patients through tailored exercise plans, and supporting long-term recovery. My experience in marketing and clear communication supports my ability to connect with patients.

This approach helped me maintain a full schedule throughout my final year and develop solid skills in supporting patients with complex needs.
