" I can't fault the service and will continue to refer when I need OTs.
I only wish the same service exists for other therapy areas!
Charlotte's progress with my client has been excellent and her joint working with other therapists and her understanding of the case management role is brilliant. "
Linsey Jamieson
Case Manager
" Charlotte is a very approachable and expert OT for anyone who has a neurological condition such as a stroke, head injury or neurological disease.
She will be familiar with the sorts of problems you may have and provide the best advice to address these problems. You can also expect the very best from her when it comes to hands-on services like splinting and equipment provision. "
