INDEPENDENT FUTURES

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (OT) is a person centred profession that is regulated by the Health Care Professionals Council (HPCP) https://www.hcpc-uk.org/.  

 

OTs work in a diverse range of settings from hospitals, community, voluntary organisations, private companies, prisons, schools, police service to name a few.  We work with people of all ages.

Most falls do not result in serious injury. But there's always a risk that a fall could lead to broken bones, and it can cause the person to lose confidence, become withdrawn, and feel as if they have lost their independence.
