Chris Smith Occupational Therapist

I have been working in the Health and Social Care sector for many years and have developed a diverse and broad range of knowledge and skills. I have experience of working as an Occupational Therapist with both Adults and Children who have complex medical conditions and challenging social circumstances. I also practice as an Independent Occupational therapist and I am an experienced Moving and Handling advisor providing training sessions for private carers and care agency staff. I work in a person centred manner and have a friendly and professional approach. I has a natural ability to engage with people in a caring and supportive way, which enables strong working relationships to be forged with both clients, their families and other professionals involved. I has a proven track record in providing specialist assessment and written reports, identifying when major housing adaptations and specialist equipment are required. I work with individuals to identify realistic, achievable goals that are focused on promoting independence and helping individuals to realise their potential. I am an effective communicator and pride myself on my ability to work collaboratively with other professionals to enable clients and families to move forward with their lives as the result of Occupational Therapy intervention.
