“Being an occupational therapist has been the only job I’ve ever wanted and ever had. It’s an amazing career which once trained means you can work in a variety of areas. Helping people look at getting the best quality of life they can have gives so many rewards”.
“As a quality improvement facilitator and a qualified occupational therapist I am continually inspired by the innovative work I see amongst my fellow OTs and AHPs, but also privileged to support staff to work closer to their occupational values by improving how they do their jobs and the quality of care they provide.”
“What inspires me about my role? Supporting others to progress and reach their goals (patients and staff). What should be celebrated about AHPs? Diversity of roles, adaptability and that we are part of workforce solutions. Why I think others should join my profession? Occupational therapy is an amazing and satisfying job which supports others to achieve. The ability to ask analyse has a role to play in all areas of patient care, staff care or leadership”
