Occupational Therapy Technician Review

I come to work and i would normally start the morning doing a wash and dress assessment, i double up with other members of staff for therapy and I may do a DADL assessment

I have learnt a lot of new skills, i have learnt a lot about the anatomy and physiology of the body, tissue viability and a lot about myself and what I am capable of achieving.

I mostly enjoy the interaction and the workshops as you gain good perspective from other people that are on different or similar pathways. I have really enjoyed the getting back to study and education and expanding my knowledge.

I feel i have been extremely lucky with my assessor and the way it has been structured works well for me. I like to be organised and i feel that this programme keeps me organised as well.

Again I feel very lucky as my employer and manager have been extremely supportive and I have not had to struggle with anything, i can talk to them and they help with what ever i need.

My assessor is amazing, she has supported me and gone above and beyond to help me achieve my qualifications. I have nothing but good things to say about her and i will actually miss talking to her once i have completed my programme.

I feel it helps give me the knowledge to support my actions whilst in on the ward and in my current role its given me so much confidence in what i do.

We are quite a small team and we do organise a lot of get togethers, social events and activities. Last year we took part in the global step challenge as a team, and i recently was invited to the AHP support worker conference.

Yes

I feel its a good way to better yourself and knowledge and help further your career if that's intended.

Just to make sure you build a good working relationship with your assigned assessor and make sure you keep to the schedule.
