Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy promotes health and wellbeing through everyday activities which add to our patients’ quality of life.

Our Occupational Therapist (OT), supported by our therapy assistant, can assess for and provide equipment to support independent living.

Working with inpatients and the day patients of our Wellbeing Centre, they will facilitate a combination of face-to-face, telephone and online therapy sessions.

They may visit our patients’ home environment to discuss adaptations which may be necessary to accommodate new levels of mobility and function.

They are also able to advise and support in the following,

• Assessment for and provision of walking aids
• Assessment and referral for wheelchairs
• Personal care
• Domestic tasks
• Managing stairs
• Breathlessness, fatigue and anxiety management
• Falls prevention
