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

15 Back East Lancashire Railway Heywood in Rochdale is a terminus for a 12-mile heritage railway extending north to Rawtenstall in Lancashire. The East Lancashire Railway was established in 1846 and was eventually absorbed by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1859. This was closed to passenger services in 1972 and restoration has been ongoing since 1986. As of 2019, there were seven stops on the line, with a new halt opened at Burrs Country Park. It’s as if the South Pennine landscape, littered with Victorian townscapes and cotton mills, was made to be traversed by steam locomotive. For the younger generation, the line is a way to sample the sights, smells and sounds of a forgotten era. The timetable is busiest between April and September when there are services from Wednesday to Sunday. The line has a calendar of special events, like an Ale Trail, 1940s Weekend, Ghost Trains at Halloween and a regular “Wizard Academy” with a nod to Harry Potter. Previous Next
