I have over 13 years’ Occupational Therapy experience and am well-established specialising in equipment, housing, environmental adaptations, moving and handling, postural management and seating assessment with children and adults. I am a passionate and motivated OT who will complete a holistic assessment and report aiming to facilitate independent living, activity participation and maximising clients' potential.
I have worked with Local Authorities, prescribing appropriate equipment, completing risk assessments and advising on minor or major environmental adaptations. She has worked closely with architects to give a functional perspective on new-builds and garden designs. She has knowledge of telecare and memory equipment allowing clients to remain safe and comfortable in their own homes.
I have experience working alongside Paediatrics and Adults with significant and complex needs within a school environment ensuring children can interact with their environment, often involving the provision of appropriate seating and/or assistive technology. I have held clinics for mobility assessments for applicants applying for the Blue Badge.
I worked within the Reablement Service involved setting goals with clients to support re-establishing meaningful activity following traumatic events. The client-base demanded a multi-disciplinary approach and often cases required best interest decisions. I gathered confident in my ability to assist making these decisions, employing a positive risk-taking approach enabling clients with fluctuating capacity to return home with a good holistic strategy, including therapy, equipment and packages of care.
During the Covid-19 pandemic I volunteered within our local community and have been nominated for a Coronavirus Hero Award.
