About the Facilitator
Dr Rob Grieve, Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy, University of the West of England, is a Senior Fellow of the HEA. As a person with a mild stammer, he has faced many issues in public speaking. This has led to an increased awareness around student fears of public speaking and resulted in the facilitation of these university-wide support workshops.
If you have any questions or any accessibility needs, please do contact UWE Bristol Library.
