OT in Primary Care
Hello, I am a student in an MSOT program, and I’m taking an advocacy class and would like some help from the community with an assignment regarding integrated healthcare. My group and I have done some research and noticed that our local government has an integrated health strategy, however it doesn’t have much momentum in our state as not many primary care offices have OTS in our area.

Hi Monica, I work in a community mental health team in Hereford (UK), and have an aspiring role in relation to integrative healthcare. The newest part of my role involves working in collaboration with primary care (GP surgeries) to support with earlier mental health access. My role is specifically mental health but as an OT, I feel we are better suited to offer holistic in rervention to clients with a range of physical and mental needs. A lot of the work focuses on basic ADL's, sleep, health promotion and community integration (voluntary support sector). I think that more research is needed in practice to evidence our role (for further funding/posts) and support integrative healthcare. Happy for further conversations. Abigail
OTs working in Virtual Wards
I am an OT working in a newly created virtual ward post in the UK (NHS).
Has anyone got any experience working in virtual wards? How is it for you? I would love to hear your experiences and feedback.

Hi @Maddie Post - I don't work in this area of occupational therapy, but it might be worth you having a look at a related past month of The OT Journal Club:
'The role of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Women's Health Occupational Therapy' - https://www.theothub.com/forum/the-ot-journal-club/the-role-of-pelvic-floor-muscle-training-in-women-s-health-occupational-therapy
Hope it's helpful background reading!
