Joshila DeVile
Specialist oncology and lymphoedema Physiotherapist
Joshila DeVile is a specialist oncology and lymphoedema Physiotherapist who successfully pioneered an exercise medicine service for GenesisCare - a private cancer care provider. During her time as Head of Exercise Medicine, she implemented and scaled this service nationally whilst developing an exercise app to help further expand a virtual exercise offering. This was effective at removing the common barriers to exercise and enabled the service to reach more patients.
She recognised a gap in lymphoedema management so completed further specialist training and took up a post at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. Joshila completed her undergraduatePhysiotherapy degree in South Africa (2000) and gained a postgraduate certificate in ExerciseMedicine Oncology (2020) from Western Australia.
Her passion is empowering both patients and health care practitioners around using exercise as medicine in the oncology field. This is achieved by presenting at national and international conferences, hosting webinars and as a guest lecturer at the University of Winchester.
