About Steve

Steve Nawoor is an Assistant Professor at Coventry University and a Consultant Physiotherapist in primary care, with a deep commitment to advancing clinical reasoning, education, and healthcare quality. His work spans the academic, clinical, and strategic spaces of healthcare, combining systems thinking with reflective practice to shape how professionals think, learn, and care.

With a background that includes national clinical leadership, quality improvement, and teaching across allied health professions, Steve brings both insight and practical experience to the evolving challenges of modern healthcare. He has spoken internationally on advanced practice and clinical reasoning, and continues to mentor emerging practitioners, influence service development, and advocate for thoughtful, patient-centred care.

Steve’s career began with the Royal Engineers and later as a Physical Training Instructor in the prison service, before moving into physiotherapy, where he has worked extensively across the NHS, in National Clinical Leadership, elite sport and higher education. His latest publication, Clinical Reasoning: Rhymes, Reflection, and Reason, explores the cognitive, narrative, and philosophical dimensions of clinical reasoning and decision-making in healthcare.

Away from the clinic or education and the front line of Primary Care, Steve is a committed average CrossFitter, a coffee enthusiast, and most proud of being a husband and dad to two teenagers. He believes in lifelong learning, curious conversation, and the power of reflection to change lives, including his own.
