Occupational Therapists believe that it is healthy for people to
continue to be involved in their usual occupations related to self-care,
work and leisure, even despite the effects of illness, injury or
disability. Our Occupational Therapists actively use a client-centred
approach and base their work on the principles of evidence-based
practice.

Section Heads, Seniors, Rotational and Therapy Assistants working with a
