  • RAMPS: a simple way to explain and promote Occupational Therapy Intervention

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!

    Here I talk about 5 categories of Occupational Therapy intervention. If you are a clinician who will take on new students, this is invaluable because the interventions are packaged to be easily understood. If you are a student, this is a great start to have an overview of the OT interventions because it categorizes everything that we do. This concept came from the model of Ecology of Human performance and, it is, by far, the only model that I came across that defines and categorizes OT interventions. I have been influenced much by this and it is what got me to come up with the mantra, "everything we do matters and has an outcome".

  • OT Conversations: Signs and Symptoms of Problems with Consciousness

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!

    In this episode, I talk about the signs and symptoms of problems with consciousness. I am inviting our OTs, OT students, Nurses and even the wider multidisciplinary team to open up their thoughts on the few symptoms that are well established terminologies in the field of psychiatry and psychology. These days, the hot topic is Delirium and we are stuck to using it until another 'popular theme' comes along. I hope that this podcast will stimulate you to keep asking, to look for more answers and to explore further. By knowing the symptoms, we can understand our patients more and we can plan our interventions better.
