Thank you to Manchester Parent Carer Forum for inviting us to the fantastic Christmas Parent Carer info day at Melland High School. It was so lovely to meet so many of the young people & their parents & carers. It was a great opportunity to share our Padlet & resources & network.

As #OTWeek draws to a close, we wanted to promote all the different people occupational therapy can work with! 😀

But what is an occupational therapist?! Good question! Here's our answer! #OTWeek

Here are some of the ways occupational therapy can help (quotes are from the Royal College of Occupational Therapists) #OTWeek

Happy #OTWeek! Here's what we offer in our occupational therapy service 😀

Happy OT Week!

We had a great time promoting the role of OT yesterday at the Allied Health Professionals careers day event in Manchester. This event was organised by our Trust and gave local sixth formers/college students the chance to learn more about careers as AHPs 😀

What a great way to end this AHP day! We're really proud to have won this poster competition about the work with do with Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) for children with cerebral palsy.

Happy AHP team from Manchester Community Children & Young People's Occupational Therapy Service!
