Occupational Therapy
The occupational therapy service provides care to patients across the Island in a variety of clinical and community settings (Schools, College, homes, hospital, outpatient clinics). Occupational Therapy is a client centred health profession that enables people to participate in the activities of daily living that they want to, need to or are expected do. This is achieved by education, modification of the environment or through rehabilitative interventions.
All occupational therapists are registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the occupational therapy governing body is the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT).
The occupational therapy service works closely with the wider multidisciplinary team to provide the best experience for the patients and their carers.
