Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy
The Hospice employs a team of four part-time Occupational Therapists, who enable patients to maintain their personal independence and quality of life. An Occupational Therapist may visit you at home, see you on the In-Patient Unit, Day Hospice or as an Out-Patient in the Dove Centre.
The team will talk with you and your family and give advice to enable you to continue your day to day activities as normally as possible. Your Occupational Therapist may be able to suggest appropriate pieces of equipment, or suitable adaptations to your home which will make life easier.
Where symptoms of fatigue, anxiety or breathlessness are affecting your daily life, you may benefit from learning different coping strategies, to better manage these symptoms. This can be with individual sessions with an Occupational Therapist, or by attending our Well Being Workshops. For more information, please click on the link below.
We also produce information leaflets on a range of topics to inform and support. This is our Occupational Therapy leaflet, which you may like to print out. Our full range of leaflets can be found on the information leaflets page.
