Integrated Occupational Therapy Services

We help patients with a wide variety of conditions to maximise their independence as possible with purposeful everyday activities of daily within their home environment and local community by:

* Working closely with the multi-disciplinary team within community and acute hospitals, community health professionals, colleagues in Social Services and the voluntary sector to assist timely and safe discharges home from hospital and prevent admission.

* Providing assessment, information, advice, and treatment for adults with a recent alteration to their physical ability to rehabilitate them back to their previous level of independence with meaningful activities of daily living.

* Setting specific rehabilitation goals to work towards in collaboration between the Occupational Therapist and client ie, independence with washing and dressing, preparing a hot drink or meal.

* Providing advice and support for alternative engagement techniques.

* Providing opportunities to practice skills under the supervision and support from Occupational Therapy Assistants and Enablers/Rehabilitation Assistance to build confidence as well as skills.

* Utilising equipment and small aids as a rehabilitation tool.

* Providing training, advice and support for carers and family members as appropriate.

* Providing signposting support and guidance to appropriate voluntary/third sector services.
