An occupational therapist works with an individual to assess their needs and to find alternative ways of carrying out daily living activities to maximise their independence. These could include everyday necessities of daily living such as household chores, getting washed and dressed, as well as social activities, going to work or simply continuing with a favourite hobby.
At Ipswich Hospital, we focus on meeting people's urgent needs as a result of illness or injury. We work with the patient to plan how their needs can be met in order for them to be discharged from hospital safely and then have any ongoing needs met at home.
Physiotherapy is a form of therapy which aims to provide patients with maximum independence and improve their physical wellbeing.
Physiotherapists are trained to give thorough and individual assessments and treatments. This may include providing rehabilitation after an operation or illness, managing symptoms of an illness or managing and improving joint problems or injuries.
