“Today on OT Conversations, we’re diving into Discharge to Assess. Why did the NHS bring it in? How did therapy response times — especially ours as OTs — play a role? We’ll talk honestly about our own shortcomings, why hospital-based assessments weren’t always serving patients well, and how shifting assessments into the community changed the game.

It’s not just policy — it’s about risk, independence, and making sure people get home safely and quickly. Join me as we unpack what D2A really means, and why it challenges us as OTs to step up in a new way.”
