Macmillan Occupational Therapist

Occupational therapy aims to help you with everyday activities e.g. getting dressed, managing the bath/stairs, leisure activities, getting out etc. The occupational therapist can look at what tasks you want or need to do and what makes this difficult for you.

Intervention may include teaching new ways of doing activities, providing aids, equipment or adaptions, information and advice on managing symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness and anxiety or referring to other professionals e.g. for practical support.
