Synopsis

A handy pocket guide to help occupational therapy students prepare for their practice placements.

Occupational Therapy placements can be daunting – you'll be working in a range of settings and supporting individuals with a variety of conditions. There are new colleagues to work with, and newly learned theory to put into practice. This pocket guide is designed to make your placements much more enjoyable and less stressful.

From basic equipment to role-emerging placements, via positive risk taking, it's full of practical detail, hints and tips.

• Written by a senior lecturer with key input from students – this guidance is really produced with you in mind.
• Pocket-sized format – carry it with you at all times.
• Space to make your own notes – be it uniform policy, new terminology, or just the names of your new colleagues!

Reduce your stress and make the most of your placements by having this book to hand from the start.
