* Use assistive devices, adaptive equipment, and environmental modifications to facilitate patients' independence and safety in their home and community environments, providing education and training to patients and caregivers as needed.

* Collaborate closely with physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to coordinate integrated care plans, address interdisciplinary goals, and optimize patient outcomes.

* Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings, case conferences, and ward rounds to review patient progress, discuss complex cases, and contribute to care planning and discharge planning processes.

* Document all assessments, interventions, and patient progress accurately and comprehensively in electronic health records, ensuring adherence to professional and organizational standards and maintaining patient confidentiality.

* Provide education and support to patients and their families regarding stroke and neurological conditions, rehabilitation strategies, community resources, and long-term management plans, empowering them to actively participate in the rehabilitation process.

* Engage in continuous professional development activities to enhance clinical knowledge, skills, and competencies in stroke and neurological rehabilitation, staying abreast of current research findings, best practices, and emerging interventions.

* Adhere to professional standards, codes of conduct, and regulatory requirements governing occupational therapy practice, including safeguarding vulnerable adults and children, and maintaining professional boundaries.

* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport, establish therapeutic relationships, and collaborate effectively with patients, families, and multidisciplinary team members.

* Ability to work autonomously and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team environment, demonstrating flexibility, adaptability, and teamwork.
