Hi SL93, review follows: article created 15 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up ay issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck on sources; a QPQ has been carried out; I note a couple of minor issues:

The work for the Society for Back Pain Research is mentioned in the lead but not the main body and is uncited
The hook and article say she was the representative of ICL in the torch relay but the source says "She was selected along with two students, out of a vast number of applicants, to represent Imperial College London". This should be reworded to reflect this

If you could advise on these, I will check back to complete the review - Dumelow (talk) 11:01, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dumelow I fixed the issues within the article. ALT1 ... that in 2012, physiotherapist Alison McGregor was one of the Imperial College London torch bearers in the build up to the London Olympic Games? SL93 (talk) 21:55, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
