Occupational therapists are specifically and uniquely trained to emphasise the relationship between occupation, health and wellbeing. Occupational therapists work with service users to help them to regain and maintain a personally satisfying routine of everyday activities. This could include self care, leisure or work activities, that they need or want to do, in order to help people with long term conditions to live life their way.
By using their specialist expertise, occupational therapists can carry out assessments to establish the functional implications of service users with long term conditions. After identifying occupation focussed goals, they offer occupational therapy interventions to enable service users to continue with their daily activities, helping them get the most from life, and remain independent.
