This week we’re celebrating National Occupational Therapy Week.

This year’s campaign shines a light on the power of prevention and early intervention and how Occupational Therapists (OTs) help people stay well, independent and out of crisis.
We have lots of OT teams supporting this every day:

💛 Acute therapy services - supporting safe, timely discharges
💜 Stroke therapy teams - enabling early rehabilitation at home
🩷 Urgent Community Response Team - Helping people avoid hospital admissions
💚 Community and intermediate care - focusing on education and prevention, including long Covid clinics and falls prevention
💙 Children’s OT team - empowering children to reach their full potential

This we celebrate every Occupational Therapist helping people to live well, on their own terms.
