Occupational What’s it about?
Occupational therapists work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures and across all age groups, helping them to cope with a variety of physical and psychological problems. Occupational therapists work with a person to consider how their physical health, mental health and social environment affect their ability to carry out daily living activities such as personal care, domestic tasks, socialising, leisure and work.
You will combine academic study with practice placements and develop a variety of personal skills such as advanced communication.
What will I learn?
You will gain an understanding of function and dysfunction in the mind and body and the use of occupation in assessment and treatment of illness. You will also look at the societal and institutional contexts of illness and health, and ethical issues in health care delivery.
This programme has five key themes including person/occupation/environment; therapeutic and professional relationships; occupational therapy process; professional reasoning; and behaviour and contexts of practice. The importance of evidence- based practice within occupational therapy practice is emphasised throughout the programme.
Modules include: • Introduction to Key Concepts in Occupational Therapy
• Professional Reasoning • Effective Therapy Skills
How will I learn? You will experience a range of teaching methods such as keynote lectures, problem-based learning, skills development workshops, seminars, tutorials, reading, practical activities, guided study and teaching each other. You will also learn from taking part in practice placements and the contact you will have from clients, carers and other professionals in community and hospital settings.
