NHS Trusts

OTC has set up specialist learning disability OT services, provided interim staff and management and designed a new statutory, community learning disability OT services for NHS trusts.

Care Providers

We advise care providers on how to use assistive technology to enable the independence of service users and direct their staff to where they need to be. We can save care providers on the cost of staffing, if safe to do so, by providing evidence base and clinical expertise.

Government Departments

We provided Occupational Therapy experts to be a panel member for the Department of Work and Pensions. We critically appraised evidence & made a judgement on claimant’s fitness to work. Provided a standard to examine the validity of the work capability assessment and an alternative approach developed by various disability representation organisations.
