A successful week for our OTs as they celebrate OT Week 2013!

You may have noticed last week we were talking a lot about our Occupational Therapy (OT) Services. Last week was Occupational Therapy week 2013, and our OT team were keen to celebrate and promote their profession. If you’ve missed our activities on Twitter and Facebook, then catch up here about what we have been up to.

Our OT team have been demonstrating how proud they are of their profession by spreading the word about what OTs can do and what a rewarding career it is

Our OTs are working to help case managers understand the broad scope of interventions that neurological OTs can deliver, promoting the OT service and challenging others to think widely about what a neurological OT can offer. Read more here.
Our OT team attended both the Case Managers JSP Networking Evening and “Working Together: The Interface between Healthcare professionals and solicitors” to represent our OT service
OT Sarah provided a day’s work experience to a support worker, giving an introduction to life as a neurological OT; Sarah was enthusiastic and eager to show her belief in her profession
OT Heather has spoken to a local school’s careers teacher to make sure that they have up-to-date information on OT as a career

Our OT team have been reflecting on how they change our patients’ lives everyday because of OT

We told you the story of Luke, who has recently got his own wheels, giving him independence around his house, read more about Luke
Heather was excited to be involved in a complex wheelchair assessment for a patient with a spinal cord injury, using a new head switch. Because of OT, her patient will gain independence by being able to drive his chair and alter his position without asking carers to do this

I am the Chair/Co-ordinator of Bolton Neuro Voices, a small local charity. I first contacted SP Therapy Services in 2012 when I was looking for a neuro physiotherapist to help us pilot a new Hydrotheraoy Course for people with long-term neurological conditions. Since then Susan Pattison and her staff have helped us to deliver ten courses to a total of more than 200 people and to facilitate the progress of many on to ongoing Continuation Programmes. Her expertise and willingness to listen and respond to our needs and those of our very varied participants is hugely appreciated and our partnership has gone from strength to strength. I unreservedly recommend this practice.

Andy provided a very thorough and considered physiotherapy assessment of a client with complex needs. His report was to a very high standard and underpinned all immediate and long term therapy needs. Thank you!

SP Therapy Services has supported Greater Manchester Spinal Injury Group for many years. Susan and Rebecca have demonstrated knowledge and skill and been adaptable to working in community settings. I would have no hesitation in recommending SP Therapy Services

I am delighted to endorse the team at SP Therapy Services. They consistently provide exceptional therapy and support their practice with sound, detailed documentation, which always arrives in a timely manner. The friendly clinicians are a credit to this fabulous company and it is evident that they always keep their patients at the centre of everything they do.
