Role-emerging Practice

Contemplating retirement? Recently retired?

Managing the work to retirement transition is currently an underdeveloped and under-researched area of practice within occupational therapy. If you are contemplating retirement? Or have you recently retired we need your help!

Are you able to help?

We have been developing a program for the past year to support the needs of people who are either about to retire or have recently retired from the perspective of the transition from work to retirement (W2R). The next step is to understand the needs of pre-retired and retired people and use the findings to further develop the W2R manual. The aim is to gather information about your experience of the retirement transition in your life. Whilst you are unlikely to personally benefit from this study your experience will enable us to develop a better intervention that is more likely to be of value to people preparing for retirement. This will increase the likelihood of its future use and the viability of it being an implementable intervention.

Want to take part?

To develop the manual, we are recruiting participants to take part in interviews which will be conducted online, we can use Zoom or MSMs Teams whichever you prefer, therefore travel is not required. If you would like to be part of or just want more information about this new and exciting project, please contact Katrina.Bannigan@gcu.ac.uk.
