Specialist occupational therapy input for occupational health providers.
Occupational therapy can complement occupational health advice by providing a detailed functional assessment of the person, their work tasks and their working environment.
I can provide specialist occupational therapy input where a case requires more detailed analysis of work function, task demands, cognitive barriers, neurodivergent needs, ergonomic issues, fatigue, pain or practical return to work planning.
This may be helpful where an employee has complex functional difficulties, the workplace impact is unclear, or a standard occupational health opinion would benefit from more detailed practical recommendations.
Occupational therapy input may also be useful where there are concerns about attention, memory, organisation, processing speed, executive functioning, sensory needs, stamina, manual handling, posture, equipment, workstation set up or ability to sustain work demands.
My focus is on work participation, function and practical adjustment rather than diagnosis alone. I consider how the person manages the real demands of their role and what changes may help them work more safely, confidently and sustainably.
Reports can support occupational health providers, employers and managers by giving clear recommendations about reasonable adjustments, equipment, work routines, environmental changes, communication, workload management and review planning.
