Therapists Roles

You will be seen by either an Occupational Therapist or a Physiotherapist for your initial assessment.

Physiotherapist (PT): Our role is to optimise mobility and strength through rehabilitation to help you perform functional tasks. We wear blue Trousers!

Occupational Therapist (OT): Along with rehabilitation our role is to ensure that your home is adequately set up and you are well supported to be safely discharged from hospital. We wear green trousers!

Therapy Support Worker (TSW): Our role is to support both PTs and OTs in both rehabilitation and administrative tasks. We wear grey shirts!
