Fatigue Management for OTs

Service Description

Would you like to learn more about fatigue and become more confident in approaching this area of Occupational Therapy practice? If so, join me for focused training in this area and leave with a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of fatigue, your personal approach to fatigue and rest, an awareness of assessment tools that can be used, and of course lots of evidence-based interventions and techniques that you can use in practice! Day One: This 3 hour workshop will focus on exploring fatigue and its impact on daily life, look at potential mechanisms for fatigue and the implications for OT intervention, the role of sleep and rest in occupational balance, and barriers to fatigue management including cultural factors and internal bias. Day Two: This workshop will build on the foundation knowledge from Day One and focus on Occupational Therapy assessment and interventions for clients experiencing fatigue. Suited to therapists working in a range of settings, the principles of assessment and intervention will be discussed where they generalise across clinical areas and also where they differ. Finally, a range of practical strategies will be discussed to support application of this learning in practice, including recommendations about how fatigue management can work in brief interventions.
