Hello,
My name is Emily. An OT in the UK. I started in a wellbeing hub for NHS staff in the last few months. I am the only OT on my team, and really struggling with finding my identity as an OT in the team. We are here to support staff mental health and wellbeing.
I was just wondering if any other OTS work in this area?
Thanks
Emily
Hi Emily,
Yes me :-) I have recently started employment with the Kent and Medway staff mental health and wellbeing hub. There is one other OT in the team as well as me. I've only been in employment for 4 weeks, so prior to this the other OT was the only one. We have been talking recently about ensuring that we maintain our identity and skills, although in my opinion we hold key skills in supporting staff wellbeing. More than happy to network and support each other.
Thank you for everything you do for staff :-)
Regards
Lou
