At the Julian hospital we value the knowledge and expertise of OT colleagues in the assessment and treatment of patients with acute illness and recognise the pivotal role that they play in supporting safe discharges from our wards. All the Occupational Therapists are assigned to one ward to be their primary place of work but here at the Julian we work as part of the wider Allied Health Professionals (AHP) team giving all the Therapists the unique opportunity to work across all the inpatient areas. The AHP roles on the Julian site sit under both the ward management and the AHP clinical lead which gives the benefit of being fully incorporated into the ward teams, whilst also working closely together with the AHP team. Management supervision will be under the Band 6 Occupational Therapist but annual appraisals will be completed alongside ward management.

At the Julian hospital we have great links between AHP colleagues across professions and throughout the care group and we have an AHP lead who is available to provide leadership and support with AHP specific matters and encourage your involvement with AHP specific service development projects.
