MDT work for An OT

As an occupational therapist, working in so social care, I can definitely see from the NICE guidelines the OT input and OT place in MDT working. I suppose keeping up with my tasks without delay such as care coordination and adaptations but also making sure i am involving and updating health, in particular DN, GP, speech and language and feedbacking to them any deterioration i observe. It is also often us or the GP who refer to physio. 

A part of it is as well encouraging the client and the family to feedback to the mdt. I suppose as an OT, I do play a key part in coordinating the care. From my end, a lot of the guidelines mention "without delay" and "at the person`s comfort/ psycological state" etc, but when it comes to adaptation if future needs are not discussed very promptly, adaptations may get delayed.

I think that Stefani provides a great overview of her clinical area and how her role would 'slot' into the MDT. She links back to the guidelines and she acknowledges the challenging considerations when discussing adaptations to the home.

Yes I agree Sarah. Thanks Stefani for your commitment to ensuring the MDT are updated. one of the articles in the post stated : Effective MDT Care should be based on the 6 C's  

Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage,  & Commitment. 

sounds to me like you are embodying these :)
