Frequently Asked Questions

What is the core difference between Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy?

Occupational Therapy focuses on helping people perform meaningful daily activities (occupations) by adapting tasks or environments. Physiotherapy primarily focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function to the body.

What does 'occupation' mean in Occupational Therapy?

In this context, 'occupation' refers to all the everyday activities that people need or want to do. This includes self-care, leisure, and productivity (like work or education).

Does this course cover working with people who have mental health conditions?

Yes, the curriculum includes modules on dealing with depression, building confidence, and understanding mental health conditions. OTs are dual-trained in physical and mental health.

What kind of 'creative activities' are used in Occupational Therapy?

Creative activities can include arts, crafts, gardening, or hobbies, which are used therapeutically to improve motor skills, cognition, or emotional expression. The use is purposeful for the client's goal.

What qualifications do I need to pursue a career in occupational therapy in the UK?

Occupational therapists work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, and community health centres in the UK's Health and Social Care Sector. They may also provide private practice or home-based services.
