Occupational Therapy isn’t about what people can’t do – it’s about finding ways for them to live their lives to the fullest 🤍💚
Our brilliant OTs have been at the front of the hospital this morning having conversations about how occupational therapists can help people stay well for longer.

Greener practice, better outcomes involves helping people recognise the benefits of sustainability for our health.
That's why I've been working on an OT intervention programme which includes the topic 'Protecting our Environment'.
It's the right time for this.

Interview with Julie Dingle - Occupational Therapist
This term, we would like to introduce Julie Dingle, who joined Fountain Head House School as our Occupational Therapist in September. Julie brings extensive experience, compassion, and dedication to supporting young people within the neurodiversity pathway. We asked Julie to tell us a bit about what inspires her and the work she does with pupils. - What inspired you to work with children with SEN?- Following my career break I was considering areas I would like to work on return to my profession.
