50 years ago, a 15-year-old dreaming of becoming an OT received a letter describing a profession that “links the early & later stages of rehabilitation.” At @BelfastTrust OT Week celebrations, we see how far that link has grown - connecting prevention, recovery, and living well.

‘OTs have helped me live my new life’. The most powerful statement of this Occupational Therapy event at the Mater hospital. One of our incredible service users describing her new life after a farming accident. Great celebrations of Occupational Therapy Week 2024 @clionamccarney

A great innovative project aiming to improve the lives of stroke survivors and meet new national guidelines for stroke. @ais_d @UrsulaK65194260 @LFitz07004016 @ot2004 @clionamccarney @RCOTNIreland @theRCOT #rcot
Stroke recovery is about relearning motor skills. Occupational Therapists in our Stroke Unit introduced Virtual Reality into patient sessions to help increase fun, motivation and intensity in a new and innovative way aid stroke recovery. #HSC #MakingADifference
