  3. Demonstrating physical ability to carry out assessments and interventions, including manual therapy techniques and therapeutic handling.
  4. Demonstrating highly developed dexterity, coordination, and palpatory skills for assessment and manual treatment of patients.
  5. Representing occupational therapy and physiotherapy at multi-disciplinary team meetings to ensure delivery of coordinated care.
Requirements

  • A degree in occupational therapy or a related field.
