Ever needed a short, simple sentence to describe what occupational therapy is? This excellent video from @BHFT sums it up nicely! How do you describe Occupational therapy? 💬

"As a male occupational therapist, I aim to challenge stereotypes and promote inclusivity in our profession while focusing on empowering my clients to live their best lives." Dean Njane is a rotational occupational therapist within the frailty team. @MFT_OT #OTWeek2023

"My grandad had a stroke. I saw the way occupational therapy helped him and improved his daily living. I completed work experience and fell in love with the person centred approach." Emily Barnden, Senior Rotational Occupational Therapist, Older Persons Team. @MFT_OT #OTWeek2023

“I chose to be an occupational therapist as you really get to know your patients and have to work hard to come up with creative solutions to their problems." James Forder, Rotational Occupational Therapist, Cardiorespiratory Team @MFT_OT #OTWeek2023 #Medway
