  • Work collaboratively with external agencies to ensure the ongoing development of Occupational Therapy services.
  • Consult with patients, carers, key agencies and the clinical team to prepare and implement individual rehabilitation programs that remain occupationally focussed, harness motivation and balance short- and long-term perspectives.
