Overview
Occupational therapists are part of our Community Teams which bring together nurses and therapists into single teams. The teams work with your GP to give you the care you need. They generally offer care to people living with on-going ill health who may need extra support from a range of different out-of-hospital health services.
If you have a number of ongoing health concerns (long term conditions) and/or have been in hospital several times in the past year due to your health conditions, then you would probably benefit from a visit from a member of the team who will then put together a plan for your care based on a full assessment of your medical, nursing and care needs. The plan includes ways to manage your health, so that you remain well for longer and anticipates any future needs you may have.
The team will work with you, your carers and family to recognise changes to your condition that could lead to a deterioration in your health, and ensure that you know how to get appropriate help.
The current average waiting time for the Adult Occupational Therapy service is 12.7 weeks.
