Paediatrics

Participants needed!

Are you a UK based paediatric OT who has delivered services using MS Teams or similar online platforms? If so, I would love to hear about your experiences.

I am a MSc Occupational Therapy student at the University of Winchester and am interested in exploring practitioners’ experiences of using telehealth to deliver interventions to children and their families. As an increasing number of healthcare services are delivered online, your input will shed light on practitioners’ experiences of this shift.

If you are interested in finding out more about this study or sharing your experiences with me in an interview, please email me at: b.crouch.24@unimail.winchester.ac.uk

This study has received approval from the University of Winchester Ethics committee (ref. HWB-OT-0825BC).

Thank you so much for your time.

Hello all, I have a practice and I’m looking for freelance paediatric OT’s who would be available to start from September in various areas within London, UK. Ideally the person has capacity of up to 1 weekday a week which is where we would expect caseload to build up to. Work is very flexible with £45 per hour pay. If interested do email with your CV and expression of interest: hello.londonoccupationaltherapy@gmail.com

As practising occupational therapists, we'd like to understand how the wider OT workforce feels it could better deliver for those it supports. Select one or more options below, to cast your vote!

Hi all,

I'm an OT apprentice in my 3rd year and currently learning about diverse settings. We've been given an assignment to devise an intervention plan in a diverse settings.

I hope it's okay to have joined this group to see if I can gather and discuss any information relating to School-Based OT interventions, especially relating to modifying classrooms to become all-inclusive and neurodiverse friendly.

If anyone has any tips, suggestions or any knowledge they'd like to share, I am all ears. But in case you'd like a prompt and in just in case you're just the person to help me, I'm particularly stuck on finding any research on interventions in modifying the physical environment of a classroom. What modifications or resources are known to help pupils with or without a neurodevelopmental condition to help their attention, self-regulation or promote general wellbeing, within a primary school classroom?
