Dear Helen Williamson (Business Intelligence),
I can confirm that I am using my real name.
For full transparency, I am an HCPC registered prosthetist employed at the Wirral Limb Centre by Ottobock Healthcare PLC, however, my FOI request is for my personal use relating to the professional doctorate I am undertaking with the University of Salford.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Evans
