Hi, a few things...I've recently changed from a LTD company to a sole trader - do you think this will affect the credibility/reputation of the profession? I had to make the change, as the work and fees put into being a limited company rather than just self employed are far too high considering I don't earn very much.
Also, I'm looking to put a website together...any suggestions, to start with I was going to use a free site such as WiX or Wordpress.
I'm finding not many people know what Occupational Therapy is! Which is such a shame. Have you been able to get GPs to refer to you as a private OT?
Any suggestions welcome :)
Many Thanks
Hi, I set up my website through Squarespace. I found it quite easy to build and I'm not particularly technical. I agree with the above comments about people not knowly what an OT is.. perhaps give yourself a different title that is more specific to the area of OT you are working in. You can then mention that you are a registered OT on the blurb about you on your website. For instance, although I'm an OT, I often introduce myself as a horticultural therapist, as people seem to be able to get their heads around that more easily!
