Who are we
Occupational Therapists, also referred to as OT’s, work with people of all ages to help them overcome the effects of disability caused by physical or psychological illness, accident or ageing, to enable them to lead full and satisfying lives as independently as possible.
What we do
We provide an Occupational Therapy Service to adults within Acute & Community settings. Occupational Therapists are also employed within NHS Borders Mental Health and Children & Young People’s Service.
The assessment and treatment process aims to use individualised programmes to help patients carry out everyday activities to maximise independence in areas of daily life by using a person's abilities, to overcome their disability.
We will work with you to find practical solutions that can help you maintain, regain, or improve your independence and participation in day to day activities. These solutions may involve changing your environment, or using different techniques and equipment.
