Our Occupational Therapists are specialists in neurological rehabilitation, treating a range of complex conditions including Brain Injury and Stroke. We select our Occupational Therapists specifically for this field and no other.
We work alongside Case Managers and Solicitors as part of an expert-based package of care for clients at home and in the local community, providing a range of services from assessments & reports to goal-oriented rehabilitation programmes, home adaptations, equipment and training.
We are very selective recruiting to our team and run a comprehensive registration, screening and orientation programme to establish a select team who carry the specialist skills we require, are fit to practice and are appropriately registered and insured. We are exceptional in readily disclosing our team CV’s which can be downloaded directly from our team profile pages.
Unlike many Occupational Therapy Service providers, we require our OT’s are Registered to Practice with us and on this basis they do not provide OT services through any other private sector provider. We thereby establish a genuine team of Occupational Therapy professionals working in the interests of The OT Centre and our customers and clients. Unfortunately it is currently common practice for providers to suggest "a network of Occupational Therapists" when in fact unknown OT's are cold-sourced from directory listings for each new client referral.
Our Occupational Therapists have full and detailed CV's with us which clearly identify substantiated clinical experience working with brain injury cases through recognised centres and specialist units designated to treat brain injury cases and provide expert neurorehabilitation services.
We are members of the British Association of Occupational Therapists, the College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Sections in both Independent Practice and Neurological Practice and we are licensed to practice through the Health Professions Council.
