Welcome along for another exciting episode of the MDTea Podcast! Today it's Episode 7 and we’re spending some time thinking about the amazing work done with older patients by occupational therapists (OT's).
OT's are problem solvers, and play a crucial role in enabling patients to carry out meaningful activities (or "occupations") and recover a degree of quality of life following illness. This can involve setting targets for patient goals such as using the shower, brushing their hair, making a cup of tea, managing their front door steps safely or even walking their dog, amongst many many other things.
On today's episode, we hear from eight brilliant OT's - Paul, Katie, Oran, Alanna, Suzanne, Bex, Louise and Rebecca - who tell us all about what life is like for them on the job, and why they wouldn't want to do anything else.
As well as that, we'll be diving back into Jean's story, and thinking how the OT team might help her out. We've also got our usual social media update and another infuriatingly tricky #MDTeaser!
We always love to hear from you, so please get in touch on Facebook, on Twitter (@mdtea_podcast) or on Instagram (@mdteapodcast), and our website is at www.mdteapodcast.co.uk. See you all really soon!
