Services

Waiting list clearance

We help local authorities throughout the UK clear both adult and child waiting lists, allowing cost savings without compromising quality of service through a combination of home and clinic-based assessments.

Whether you would be making bulk or batch referrals, we recognise the diversity of local authority requirements and develop an individually tailored package to deliver exactly what you require.

Staff training

Our team can deliver bespoke training courses including adaptations, moving & handing, seating and assistive technology, including appraisals and supervision.

These may range from lunchtime "refresher" sessions to comprehensive courses over several days.

Service outsourcing

If you are looking to outsource a branch of your occupational therapy services - from falls prevention to cardiac rehabilitation - we would be pleased to discuss this in detail with you.

Winter pressure teams

Our large network supports NHS trusts during periods of additional pressure, whether these arise from seasonal variations in demand or staff shortages, providing cover for one-off days or even for weeks or months at a time.

Our approach to working with NHS trusts

We are proud to have worked with the NHS on a variety of projects over the years and have a in-depth understanding of the service and the continual demands made upon it. Through our experience we have a knowledge of likely requirements and are able to easily tailor our service in-line with specific project needs. The foundation of our service is built on three core elements we believe are critical to delivering exceptional service to the NHS, whatever the project.

Our management team

From the point of initial enquiry, you will have an experienced, office based account manager as a single point of contact always available by phone or email, who will manage the project throughout to ensure the quality, consistency and timeliness of our service delivery.

Our processes & systems

NHS projects can involve large numbers of cases so it is imperative we have the systems and processes in place to ensure quality and attention to detail is never sacrificed. We achieve this by having robust processes we have developed and refine, including sophisticated bespoke systems that provide the logistical foundation to The OT Practice's operations.

Our nationwide team of therapists

We have the largest team of private OT’s in the UK and all passed a strict selection, interview & registration process to ensure we only have the best therapists on our team. Clinical skills and experience are essential, but to become an OT Practice therapist our team members must demonstrate a track record of professionalism and the right attitude to customer service, as well as having an energetic and innovative approach.
