This week is Occupational Therapy Week

November 6, 2023

Occupational therapy is one of the allied health professions that helps people of all ages who have physical, sensory, or cognitive problems. Occupational Therapy Week aims to increase awareness of and celebrate the essential service occupational therapists provide in helping patients regain independence in all areas of their lives. This year’s Occupational Therapy Week is celebrated between 6 – 12 November.

Be sure to check out this short video featuring two of our children’s occupational therapists talking about their roles at SWB.

To celebrate Occupational Therapy Week, we will be hosting a special Occupational Therapy Week drop in event on Tuesday 7 November at Sandwell Education Centre from 10am – 3pm for all colleagues to attend.
