Katherine Coles (Gatt)'s profile

Katherine Coles (Gatt) I am a qualified Occupational Therapist registered with the HCPC. Specialist interest and qualifications in manual handling, seating, 24 hour posture management & environmental design.

Advanced Seating Solutions Ltd

I am an OT with 30 years experience of working with adults, adolescents and children managing complex and multiple disabilities such as neurological conditions, mental health, autism and LD. Developing my skills in specialist equipment and environmental design, I am passionate about keeping up to date with products and innovations, such as seating, wheelchairs, slings, handling and bathing equipment. I have contributed design ideas to several companies in order to better meet the very individual needs of my Clients. With many years of experience working in Social care, mental health and learning disabilities, as an OT and I am also a qualified Manual Handling Trainer, providing Complex Handling Training to Therapists in my local NHS Trust for the last 5 years. We also provide a range of other Healthcare training solutions. We offer equipment assessments and advice/signposting. The range of Therapy services include: assessments and reports, a full environmental design service with equipment/adaptation provision, manual handling equipment and advice, Having invested 20 years of my life to working within our wonderful NHS, I knew the best way I could continue to contribute to my profession was to establish my own company. This was an opportunity to pass on, not just the skills, know-how and best-practice that I have learned and developed, but also to continue to have the opportunity to provide the Service that I believe my Clients deserve.
