Summary
Occupational therapy is a client-centred profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing through occupation. This means occupational therapists support people to participate in what they want, need, and are expected to do, by modifying the occupation and/or the environment to maximise health and/or wellbeing.
This course is designed to train you to meet the contemporary needs of diverse populations and will empower you to use the skills you develop in settings that align with your interests.
This course is underpinned by four 'golden threads' to support contemporary practice. These are:
Theory Driven: The modules you complete are informed by theories from both inside and outside the discipline of occupational therapy.
Evidence Informed: This course uses various types of evidence from a range of sources, including (but not limited to) published peer-reviewed research, opinions from experts by experience, and real-world learning and professionally orientated social media.
Occupation Centred: Occupation is at the centre of our profession and is reflected in our content in recognising people as occupational beings.
Inclusive: We recognise the existence of systemic racism, ableism, inequality, and privilege. Occupational Therapists work within complex systems and diverse populations. Inclusivity, allyship, and equality are central to our courses, modules, and how we work.
