Dr Eddie Hai

Before the University of Sunderland, I taught at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for 10 years on BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy. The major areas I taught were clinical application of occupational therapy to medical and neurological specialties, assistive technology, and geriatric rehabilitation.

I started my new role as a Lecturer and Clinical Link Tutor for Occupational therapy at the University of Sunderland in 2023.
