Prue Sandford

Founder and Executive Director, Quality Assurance

Angela is an experienced operations and accounts officer with a long history in medico legal administration. Angela has been with the business for more than 10 years, overseeing the consistently high quality of our services, strong relationships with our referrers, and sharing her wealth of knowledge with the wider team.

By founding PrudenceOT in 1996, Prue Sandford is arguably one of Australia’s first medico legal occupational therapists (OTs) and was one of only a handful of Australia’s leading occupational therapists providing medico legal reports through until the early 2000s.

Prue went on to build a faculty of OTs, distilling her knowledge into a growing national team, now comprising nearly 50 expert witness occupational therapists. The quality of each report which was delivered by Prue is now a hallmark of each report delivered by the team, where an uncompromising focus on producing an evidence-based, robust and timely report is the priority. This focus has meant PrudenceOT has become a trusted, respected and reliable partner in the personal injury market.

Away from the Board of Prudence, Prue enjoys and practices yoga and Pilates daily, and invests her time in building her knowledge base in health and wellness practices.
