When barriers get in the way of doing the things that matter, occupational therapists are
experts in enabling participation. They understand the relationship between people, their
environments and the activities that matter to them. By adapting environments, building skills
and finding practical solutions, occupational therapists help people overcome barriers and
continue doing the things they need, want and love to do. Participation is the outcome
occupational therapists enable every day.

A big thank you to everyone who helped us choose a name for our new joint service.
We received 245 responses, and the name you chose is... Stay Well, Live Well 🤍

This new partnership brings together health, social care and community services to help people who may be having problems with their memory, finding it harder to move around, or dealing with other health issues as they get older.

We also received lots of brilliant suggestions of your own, with themes around staying healthy, keeping independent, supporting each other and working together. Some had a real North East feel too!

Let's talk about careers that make a difference!

If you could choose a career where you had the opportunity to make a positive difference in someone's life every day, would you choose:

👶 Childcare– helping children learn, grow and thrive?

🧓🏽Adult Care– supporting adults to live with dignity, independence and confidence?

Both careers are incredibly rewarding and play such an important role in our communities.

👇 Tell us in the comments: Childcare or Adult Care – which would you choose and why?
