    Dr Agnieszka Lewko is an Assistant Professor of Healthcare Research. She is an HCPC-registered physiotherapist with a PhD in Healthcare Science and a research leader in respiratory and critical-care physiotherapy with a strong record of international collaboration, clinical research impact, and capacity building. Her professional expertise is in cardiorespiratory physiotherapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and respiratory care within primary and secondary care settings. She has gained clinical and research experience in Poland, Belgium and the UK. She also has an independent and supplementary prescriber qualification.
