Wonderful news! As a GP who has an OT in our team I've seen the benefits for many patients. OTs are dual trained in physical and mental health so provide holistic care based on improving function and QOL. They provide effective support to help patients grow their lives.
NHS Lanarkshire is set to become one of the first health boards in Scotland to provide a primary care occupational therapy (OT) service to all local GP practices.

Thank you for your agility and kindness Jimmy. From the moment the first patient arrived you willingly donned up in full PPE and cared for this most vulnerable group of patients. #ThisIsOT
“Because if the flood of patients coming out of Residential Aged Care, the GEM ward became a #COVID Ward virtually overnight. We’ve had 53 COVID positive patients through the ward."
Jimmy is one of the dedicated OTs we’re celebrating this week for #OccupationalTherapyWeek
Great research and findings Kylee. And great to be a part of your team!

“The type of patient I work with often depends on the sport of the season. This time of year we get a lot of cricket injuries, people can even be injured in backyard games. Football season has a lot of dislocated fingers and slips and falls.”
