About your trainers

Beverly Knops

Managing Director and Senior Occupational Therapist at Vitality360.

Beverly Completed her Occupational Therapy training in 1988. She has spent most of her career working with people experiencing persistent pain and fatigue. She worked in North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) for 29 years, starting in the Rheumatology services, then moving into the Specialist Pain and ME/CFS services. Beverly says that her main achievement at NBT was leading the patient volunteer programme. She trained and supervised patients with lived experience who are now involved in all aspects of the service, including co facilitating self-management courses. During this time she also spent a period of nine years working one day a week for the Bath Paediatric ME/CFS service, developing her knowledge and expertise in this age group. In 2012 Beverly started work as an associate therapist with Vitality360. In 2018 she was asked to take on the management of the company and following a difficult decision in 2021 to leave the NHS , she now leads this team full time. Beverly was a trustee for BACME for a period of 8 years where she was actively involved in the training stream, including supporting 4 conferences. She recently stood down from this position to join the Vocational Rehabilitation Association board where she is keen to bring her expertise in pain and fatigue but also learn more about how we can optimise the chance of people with persistent symptoms returning to and sustaining work.
