fe9f5954-55fc-430f-bd6d-7aa75ccb2a0d < Back Occupational Therapist Working alongside GPs to meet patients' healthcare needs. Occupational therapists (OTs) support people of all ages with problems resulting from physical, mental, social, or development difficulties. OTs provide interventions that help people find ways to continue with everyday activities that are important to them. This could involve learning new ways to do things or making changes to their environment to make things easier. As patients’ needs are so varied, OTs help GPs to support patients who are frail, with complex needs, live with chronic physical or mental health conditions, manage anxiety or depression, require advice to return or remain in work and need rehabilitation so they can continue with previous occupations (activities of daily living). www.healthcareers.nhs.uk Occupational therapist Entry requirements To become an occupational therapist, you’ll need a degree in occupational therapy, which usually takes three years full time or up to six years part time. In postgraduate studies, it’s possible to gain a Masters degree in one to two years. Once you’ve successfully completed your degree, you’ll need to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) before you can start practising. The other option is to apply for an apprenticeship degree. Previous Next

Clinical Excellence Award < Back Jake Riley Clinical Excellence Award Winner "I am writing to nominate Jake Riley, a dedicated nurse leading the newly developed Mental Health Living Well team in Pennines, for the clinical excellence award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to mental health care and team leadership. Jake has been at the forefront of this new service for the past six months, guiding it from its inception to a robust and highly effective support system for individuals struggling with mental health issues. His exceptional ability to connect with and support these individuals is truly remarkable. He demonstrates deep compassion and unwavering dedication, ensuring that each person he works with feels heard, valued, and supported. Jake’s leadership skills are equally impressive. He fosters a collaborative and inclusive work environment, bringing the team together with his positive energy and open communication. He is always available to support his colleagues, offering guidance and encouragement whenever needed. His efforts have not only strengthened the team but also enhanced the quality of care provided to our community. His commitment to going above and beyond in his role is evident in his daily actions. Whether it’s spending extra time with a patient in need, developing new initiatives to improve service delivery, or simply being a reliable and supportive colleague, Jake embodies the qualities of an exceptional nurse and leader. I wholeheartedly believe that Jake deserves to be recognised for his extraordinary contributions to our community and the field of mental health. His dedication, compassion, and leadership make him an exemplary candidate for this award." A huge well done to our SMHP Jake and team for the immense efforts and dedication with integrating the new Mental Health Living Well Service model for the patients of Pennines PCN. This is an invaluable service which has provided a huge amount of capacity in an area which our GP Practices alone could not match the demand. Your service has not only proven its benefit with our patients, but has massively relieved the strain on our general practitioners and GP Practice staff.
