Custom-Designed Courses We understand that each healthcare organisation has unique training needs. Our team works closely with clients to develop custom-designed courses tailored to specific requirements. These courses can address particular skills deficits, incorporate organisational policies, and align with the latest industry standards, ensuring that staff receive relevant and impactful training. Work-Based Learning Work-based learning provides healthcare professionals with the opportunity to gain practical experience while continuing their education. The Primary Care Academy facilitates this type of learning by creating structured programmes that integrate on-the-job training with theoretical knowledge. This approach allows learners to apply what they have learned in real-world settings, reinforcing their skills and confidence.

The Primary Care Academy offers a range of online and e-learning programmes that allow healthcare professionals to learn at their own pace. These programmes cover various topics and can be accessed from anywhere, making them an ideal solution for busy practitioners seeking to further their education without disrupting their work schedules. In-House Delivery For organisations looking to train multiple staff members simultaneously, the Primary Care Academy provides in-house delivery of training programmes. This approach allows for a more cohesive learning experience and can be tailored to the specific context and culture of the organisation.

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
