Occupational Therapist

Occupational therapists work with people who have difficulties carrying out various day to day activities because of disability, illness, trauma, ageing, and a range of long-term conditions.

About Occupational Therapists

Occupational Therapists see a huge variety of patients and help them with many different issues. This could include things like helping someone adapt to life after major surgery, helping people with a mental illness or learning disability with everyday activities such as work or volunteering, or helping elderly people stay in their own homes by providing adaptations for their home.

Work involves advising patients on how to approach a task differently, using equipment or assistive technology; adapting patients’ living or working environment; working with patients and their families as well as groups and healthcare professionals – helping people to find ways of doing activities that are important to them and improving their quality of life.
