Staff and service Users at Cygnet Hospital Ealing celebrated National Occupational Therapy Week this month with a collection of displays and events around the theme, ‘Small Change, Big Impact’.
Service users shared reflections on the challenges they face and the changes they made whilst working with Occupational Therapy. The hospital’s occupational therapy team, were heartened to hear of the positive difference OT makes to service users’ care and recovery.
“The OT team helped me with structure, routine and having someone to talk to. They gave me a voice when I couldn’t communicate myself.”Service user, Cygnet Hospital Ealing
“OT supported me to attend more groups, so I felt a sense of belonging and increased self-esteem.”Service user, Cygnet Hospital Ealing
These occasions included further reflections, presentations and discussions from staff and offered our team a chance to engage in meaningful and purposeful activities.
