We provide specialist Occupational Therapy for adults with neurological conditions in Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
Occupational Therapists support people to do the activities that are important to them, which we believe helps people to be healthier. These activities might include being able to look after yourself or others, housework, paid work, education or leisure interests. We can provide education, rehabilitation, supply equipment or teach people new ways to do things.
Occupational Therapists may work in the health service, in social services, private companies and in charities. We may therefore pass referrals onto other Occupational Therapists who are better at dealing with some issues, or we may work together.
