Dr Shane Patman is an Associate Professor in the School Physiotherapy and coordinates the cardiorespiratory stream of the physiotherapy program. Shane graduated from Sydney University in 1990 with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy), and then went on to complete a research Master of Science (1999) focused on 'Manual Hyperinflation: Consistency of the technique and the effect on Respiratory Parameters' and then a PhD (2005), both with Curtin University. His PhD examined 'The effect of physiotherapy on the prevention and treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia for intensive care patients with acquired brain injury'.

In 2009 Shane successfully completed the specialisation exams to become a Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists.

Shane commenced at Notre Dame in 2005; prior to that he had been working as a senior physiotherapist within critical care at Royal Perth Hospital since 1994. Presently Shane maintains a clinical appointment as a senior physiotherapist in the ICU on weekends at Fremantle Hospital.

Beyond Notre Dame Shane is actively engaged with the physiotherapy profession. From 2007 to 2010 he was on the Physiotherapists' Registration Board of Western Australia, and in 2010 transitioned to being on the inaugural WA Board of the Physiotherapy Board of Australia. He has been on the accreditation committee of the Australian Physiotherapy Council since 2007. In 2009 he commenced on the Board of Directors of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, and in 2011 was reappointed for a second term of office. Shane also sits on the Board of Censors of the Australian College of Physiotherapists and is the inaugural President of the International Confederation of Cardiorespiratory Physical Therapists.

His primary teaching areas are in: cardiorespiratory anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology, and cardiorespiratory physiotherapy.
