As an occupational therapist, you will work with individuals and communities to enable participation in the activities (occupations) they want, need or have to do – from self-care and education to work, leisure and social connection. Occupational therapists work in many settings including NHS hospitals and clinics, GP practices, schools, rehabilitation centres, care homes, vocational services, charities and other community services, and may work across physical and mental health, and with children, young people and adults.**\What you will learn**This course is designed to develop autonomous, team-orientated practitioners who deliver well-reasoned, compassionate and evidence-based care.
