Occupational Therapist currently working as a neuro navigator. prev in ESD/stroke. Passionate about improving the rehab experience of stroke & neuro patients
Occupational therapy helps people live their best life at home, at work and everywhere else.
By helping people live well for longer, occupational therapy saves money and reduces pressure on health and social care services.
We need more OTs in communities, working in GP practices, schools, social services, housing associations, care homes and places of work.
OTs can empower people to manage their changing needs and take more control of their lives.

We do occupations from the moment we’re born – they’re essential to living. They give our lives meaning and purpose, they shape who we are, and help us connect with others.

On #WorldOTDay is seems appropriate to highlight the important role of OTs in screening for visual perception problems after stroke @RCOT_NP@otaust@OTASA_news@AOTAInc
In our survey, we found that OTs screen for visual perception difficulties in 88% of services.
