The quick appointment was great

Posted By januarypp73

"The quick appointment was great"

About: Adult Health & Support Services / Occupational Therapy

(as a service user),

When I hit my mid forties I pretty much lost control over my work life. Massive anxiety attacks, crying at work, sickness and not being able to hold a job for very long. My GP practice has been very supportive with my mental health struggles throughout the years.

Aside from starting HRT and adjusting my anti depressant, I was referred to Occupational Therapy. I was surprised to have my first OT appointment quite soon after my referral. The quick appointment was great as I didn't have a chance to over-think and back out.

Dear januarypp73,

Many thanks for sharing your feedback regarding your experience of accessing support from occupational therapy. I am pleased to hear you were offered an appointment quickly.

If possible could you share the name of the OT and service you were offered an appointment with. This would be much appreciated and allow us to share this positive feedback directly with the staff involved.

Once again thanks for taking the time to share this positive experience,

Warm regards,

Amanda
