Acute Medical Setting - Peer Support for Newly Qualified Occupational Therapists
Hello everyone ,
I am newly qualified and my first rotation is in an acute medical setting. I found myself pondering over my transitionary period and all the different conditions I am seeing. The positive and the negative and thought otherothers might be thinking the same and benefit from peer support through discussion.

@esther - that overwhelming feeling and responsibility surge is tough in the first few weeks of any job! Let alone your first as a newly qualified. So we hope you're taking time out to unwind between shifts :) (Meaningful leisure occupations?) As OTs, we strive to do our best - and are obviously caring people. It can be very easy to develop unrealistic expectations. It sounds like you are having good supervision contact in the early stages... So vital. Perhaps you could get a medical dictionary/get work to order one? Could be handy to dip into for the medical jargon! The OT Hub Team hubteam@theOThub.com
