Primary Care Occupational Therapy Service
Primary Care Occupational Therapists (OTs) help people who have noticed that the everyday activities (occupations) that they need or want to do are starting to become more difficult.
When someone experiences a new health concern or disability, we know that early support to develop new ways of coping is important.
We will give you time to talk about the difficulties you are experiencing with everyday activities and set realistic goals together.
Working together, we can offer practical support, education and advice to help you manage your health and be able to do the activities that you need or want to do.
