This week our input from our team of Occupational Therapists has included:

- Supporting a client with a traumatic brain injury to cope with some challenging family circumstances

- Updating the manual handling risk assessment and plan for a young client with a brain injury, and enabling 1:1 (rather than 2:1) care to continue

- Updating family and MDT around the progress of housing adaptations for the forever home for a client living with a spinal cord injury.

- Professional development and supervision with our associate OT’s

- Supporting a client with a traumatic brain injury with budgeting, and adjusting to new work roles and other major life developments.

- Enjoying the results of helping a client plan their first abroad holiday since they sustained multiple injuries including a brain injury.

- Upper limb rehabilitation session with a client using the Tyromotion Pablo as part of the therapy to increase external focus and repetition and provide clear measured outcomes / progress monitoring.

- Rehabilitation session for a client living with a spinal cord injury.

- Arranging equipment and adaptations to enable a client to maintain their safety in bed, and their wheelchair.

- MDT working

- Advising on employee fitness to work, and appropriate adjustments to enable their engagement in work.

And so much more!!!

Amazing to see one of clients and the results of all the hardwork he has put into to raising funds for N&N Hospitals Charity :)

🙏Tom James was inspired to help during the Covid pandemic by raising £470 with his trike ride.
Tom met Chief Nurse Prof Nancy Fontaine today who thanked him for his excellent fundraising🎉

Always a boost to get some positive feedback. This time from the fab team at PLG Consultants...
”Charlotte produced a seminar for our employees at PLG Consultants regarding her role as a Housing Occupational Therapist. The team found it not only informative but highly motivating and her knowledge and experience in the sector was very profound.

Charlotte was a dynamic and excellent speaker and all of our employees were fully engaged from start to finish. We have received nothing but positive feedback from every member of the team who have said that they came away from the seminar with a far greater understand of her role and the vital part she plays in a client rehabilitation.

It was felt that her seminar was a very valuable insight and has provided us with plentiful ‘food for thought’ on how we can better the service we provide for our clients.”

*Gamers, Physios, O.Ts, Friends please share!*

I have been in contact with Playstation Europe and they are interested in recruiting gamers with various disabilities.

They are mainly interested in people with motor limitations (difficult with movement) but welcome any and all gamers with disabilities to register interest.

They have some studies coming up, where they are aiming to test how accessible their games are. This would typically involve players coming to their offices in central London and playing an unreleased game, then giving feedback on how they found it, and any accessibility issues they encountered (you will also receive a cash incentive for their time). We’re interested in a range of disabilities, particularly players with motor limitations

They will also be coming to people's homes depending on which study so it is worth signing up even if you aren't able to get to London!

I encourage all people interested in gaming to sign up as I feel it is hugely important for all people to be able to access computer games if they so wish, particularly with the immensely social aspect of gaming now having such positive effects on people's lives.

Please note this sign up is to register interest only.
