Anatomy of an OT (_happylittleot) (updated).jpg

There are many reasons to choose to become an occupational therapist. A key few:

 

  • Make a genuine difference to people's everyday lives - ability, meaning, roles, confidence
     

  • Work with varied groups of people - children, teenagers, adults, older people; cultural and socio-economic contrasts
     

  • Work in varied settings - hospitals, schools, the community, charities, prisons; statutory and private services
     

  • Career flexibility - to retrain and specialise within other areas of practice

This is our kind of anatomy lesson! A great advocacy image, highlighting key skills and qualities of an occupational therapist.
