"O.T. Service at Medical Centre"

About: General practices in Lanarkshire

(as a service user),

My GP was treating me for depression and severe muscle pain and offered me the chance to use their O.T. service that was available. This took the form of a telephone consultation to access my condition and offer constructive help. I was a bit unsure of how it could help, but agreed to give it a try.

After the first consultation I was sent paperwork relating to depression and how to overcome some of the causes. After reading it twice I could associate with some of the content and how to combat it. I received a phone call every two weeks to just chat and access how I was progressing, followed by more reading material covering stress and how to reduce it. I started looking forward to my phone call and what it would bring.

Today I had my last call and am pleased to say the whole experience was very successful and I am almost back to my old self with hope for the future thanks to this  service. I would highly recamend anyone to use the service if offered and hope this will continue after the present trial period. Well done Katrina.
