HCPC Return to Practice package – Occupational Therapy

Returning to Occupational Therapy Practice

Returning to Occupational Therapy Practice?

Have you been away from occupational therapy, and are exploring if you could go back on the register?

Would you like to return to occupational therapy practice but don’t know where to start?

Do you need to be flexible to fit in around family, jobs or carer responsibilities?

Do you want to identify your goals and work towards them?

Would you like someone to support and work with you to achieve this?

If you answer yes to any of the above, I can develop a bespoke package with you.

I can help you to get back on to the register by having an initial free chat on the phone about anything including;

  • How long you want to take to complete the process?
  • What you think would be the balance between practice and study for you?
  • How we can get you back into an occupational therapy job?
Don’t worry if you haven’t got all the questions or any answers we will do this together.
With that knowledge we will work together to enable a successful registration with the HCPC by:-
  • Clearly defining key areas for development required in current practice
  • Creating bespoke learning opportunities
  • Reviewing changes in working practices within the occupational therapy standards framework
  • Completing a variety of online materials, in relation to national guidelines, and in the light of current legislation
  • Participating in a minimum of six supervision sessions over a maximum of 12 months
  • Providing a single point to sign off  all your HCPC requirements

And, yes of course, my support continues until you secure a job.

Each person I have supported through this process is successfully back on the register and has secured an Occupational Therapy job.

Here is what they had to say about working with me…

  • Margaret is a delight to work with: always upbeat, well-informed and no hurdle is insurmountable. I also appreciated that she gave a lot of thought to the lessons and exercises suggested to me, they were tailored to my own particular areas of interest which kept me engaged throughout. She has both a wealth of knowledge and her finger on the pulse of current OT practice. I can only imagine what her office must look like, such is her ability to find just the right article or research paper. With OT360, you’re in the best place possible.

  • Margaret,Thank you so much! You are the most inspirational OT that I have discovered. I would not have returned to practise without you!.

  • Meeting with Margaret to review progress and discuss key issues in current OT practice is really useful.  Margaret’s good humour and encouraging attitude is very motivating; her ability to provide clear answers to my questions reassures me that I’m on the right track.

TESTIMONIALS

  • I just wanted to thank you again for your time and honesty yesterday.
    I have a plan and feel better now.

    Ruth Parrot
    Business Manager Under the Stars Sheffield
  • Thanks Margaret for ironing out my crumpled thoughts so expertly, and thanks for patiently listening to me again today, it does really help to talk things through. Your support and guidance has helped to keep me sane during the crazy times at Hamara and kept me on the OT tracks.

    Specialist Vocational Rehabilitation Occupational Therapist. Leeds, West Yorkshire
  • You have a non-judgemental, empathetic approach, friendly, but always professional and have helped to guide me at times when could not see a step ahead, let alone a whole new path. In tough times you have helped me to see the lighter side of life with your consistent positivity about the profession and wider issues in healthcare. You do not restrict supervision to work, life outside work is important and you are accepting that the two interact, which makes the approach you use in supervision real, accepting and one where you leave with a greater understanding and sense of well-being.
