What I have noticied
Undervalued, underapreciated and unknown
Other professions not knowing what OT can do
They don't understand what makes OT unique and believe other professions do the same job
OT doesn't sell itself
Leading to lack of confidence
Impact on funding
Posts not being replaced
Re-interviewing and down banding to save money
Lack of role definition
OTs are doing generic role/ care coordinator
SUs are on OT caseloads without specific OT needs
Recovery model (London MH models of care)
Holistic approach
Focus: recover a meaningful life, instead of finding a cure and eradicating symptoms
Identify and implement healthy habits and routines to support a wellness lifestyle (AOTA 1)
Information around monitoring physical health and managing physical conditions including smoking cessation (AOTA 1)
Guiding principles: hope and optimism
Process to build resilience, not an end goal
Strong support systems
Family and friends
Professionals and relevant services
Person centred with a shared decision making process (AOTA 1)
OT interventions (AOTA)
Employment support- guidance and consultation
Provide educational programs
E.g. Stress management, social skills, self-awareness, treatment groups
Facilitating development of skills required for living independently
E.g. Managing time, money, resources, medication and being safe
Promote participation in leisure activities and developing vocational interests
Guidance around activities of daily living (ADLs)
Environment
Evaluate and adapt to optimise functioning and independence
E.g. Home, work, school
Identify values, needs and goals (AOTA 1)
"the forgotton speciality" (1989)
The profession lacks confidence in itself and its relation to psychiatry
Due to lack of evaluative research, highlighting OT skills and capabilities
Other professions including psychiatrists unaware of OT skills
This would improve clinical practice, increase confidence and prevelance of OT services
Service user experience
Referred to CMHT by: GP, A&E, inpatient units
OT goals, promote independence, graded activities, recovery pathway, support with ADLs, employment, access to services and involvement in community
Assessments: Risk, environmental, OT needs, screening for groups, mood, cognition, ?MOHOST
Care pathways developed with service user; identifying risks, triggers, history and coping strategies amongst more information about the SU
