Kay James BHSc(Hons) Occupational Therapy 1994

OT4Independence Ltd

I am based in Maidstone, Kent and I specialise in moving and handling people. I have a small team of Occupational Therapists, we provide bespoke Moving and Handling Training for health and social care providers, moving & handling trainers, school staff, private care teams and personal assistants. Our training is evidence based, up to date creative and enjoyable to ensure it has a positive change on the way that people are moved and handled.

We undertake personalised Moving and Handling risk assessments to ensure that people can be moved and handled with dignity, enable independence and to ensure people can live their best lives. We can assess in people's own homes, care homes, day centres, schools, colleges, work. We will provide a moving and handling plan to help support workers, carers and families to put our recommendations into practice.

We can provide Occupational Therapy assessments for assistive equipment and housing adaptations.
