The power of personalised care in occupational therapy is highlighted in our latest film, as one therapist goes beyond expectations…
An occupational therapist can have a profound impact on someone’s life – the kind of impact that is showcased in the most recent video CPL One has filmed and produced for NHS England.
Making the first move tells the story of a young person with mental health challenges and an occupational therapist who is willing to go the extra mile to connect with him, by learning chess in her own time.
The therapist’s dedication creates an opportunity for the service user to engage with her and begin to open up.
It is a story that beautifully illustrates the emotional depth that personalised care in occupational therapy can achieve.
Therapists often have to work hard to make a connection – and change may not happen overnight – but when breakthroughs are made, no matter how small, the job is rewarding beyond words.
Much like film-makers, occupational therapists are masters of making people feel something and can truly inspire positive change.
“We know that occupational therapists do incredibly important work and we really enjoy working with them,” says Alex Lamb, CPL One senior account manager and producer of the film. “We’re delighted that CPL One’s film-making team has been able to capture the very real impact they have on people’s lives.”
Poonam Hyland, NHS England’s deputy regional chief allied health professional in the East of England, said:“We’re really pleased with the work that CPL One has produced for us again. This film beautifully captures the dedication and empathy that occupational therapists demonstrate every single day. Their commitment to improving the lives of their patients is truly inspiring, and this film is a testament to the profound impact they have.”
