Rebecca Berridge BSc (hons) Occupational Therapy PG Cert Ed Medical and Healthcare Education BSc (hons) Psychology

RBOT

I qualified as an occupational therapist in 2013 and have worked in a community setting since qualifying gaining specialist skills and knowledge in the following areas::

• Moving and handling assessments including promoting proportionate care through assessment, tracing and equipment provision. -Moving and handling training for carers and family.
• Assessments for equipment recommendations.
• Assessments for minor adaptations to properties such as grab rails, bannister rails or other less complex adaptations.
• Major adaptations from stairlifts, through floor lifts, ramps, bathroom adaptations, kitchen adaptations, ceiling track hoists and extensions.
• Support with DFG applications.
• Assessments of activities of daily living and rehabilitation plans.

In addition to complex adaptations, I have also developed skills and an interest in equipment provision delivering local training on equipment provision and work as a clinical advisor to the equipment service in my local area..

I balance my work time between my roles in the community NHS team as a Senior Occupational Therapist and Clinical Advisor to the Equipment Service as well as my private practice.
