On practice placements I continuously used occupation in intervention by collaborating with clients to identify meaningful occupations that were relevant to their goals and values.

 I incorporated evidence-based interventions that utilized occupation as a therapeutic medium, such as therapeutic exercise, activity analysis, and sensory integration.

 By incorporating occupation into my interventions, I helped clients achieve their goals and engage in meaningful occupations that improved their physical, psychological, and social well-being.

As an occupational therapy student on acute care placement, I built therapeutic and professional relationships by demonstrating empathy, active listening, and effective communication skills with patients and other healthcare professionals.

 By fostering trust and collaboration, I created a safe and supportive environment that promotes the patient's engagement in meaningful activities and contributes to their recovery and overall well-being.

On my primary care placement I adopted total communication strategies. 

I did this  by using appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication for the client I was working with, such as clear language, attentive body language, and open-ended questions.

This allowed me to establish a rapport with these clients and promote their engagement in the therapeutic process.

On my acute care placement I worked effectively as part of a team by demonstrating collaboration, flexibility, and respect for the roles and expertise of other healthcare professionals. 

By actively engaging in interdisciplinary communication and decision-making, I contributed to the development and implementation of comprehensive and coordinated care plans that addressed the unique needs and goals of patients in the acute care setting.

As an occupational therapy student on acute care placement, I facilitated the occupational therapy process by conducting comprehensive assessments of the patient's occupational performance, developing individualized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals, and implementing evidence-based interventions that promote their engagement in meaningful activities. 

By collaborating with the healthcare team, monitoring the patient's progress, and making appropriate modifications to the treatment plan, I facilitated the patient's recovery, rehabilitation, and overall well-being.

On my primary care placement, I managed a caseload of 14 clients independently by conducting comprehensive assessments, developing individualized treatment plans, and implementing evidence-based interventions that address their unique conditions and needs. 

Through effective time management and prioritization, I ensured that each client received appropriate attention and care, while also monitoring their progress and making necessary modifications to their treatment plans.

I have demonstrated professional reasoning throughout my clinical placement by utilizing my knowledge and understanding of occupational therapy theory, evidence-based practice, and clinical judgment to make informed decisions about assessment, intervention, and discharge planning for clients with various conditions and needs. 

Through critical thinking, reflection, and ongoing evaluation, I ensured that my interventions were based on the best available evidence, met the unique needs and goals of each client, and were appropriate to the client's stage of recovery.

Throughout practice placements I have demonstrated professional behaviour by upholding the values, principles, and ethical standards of the occupational therapy profession. This includes maintaining confidentiality, respecting the dignity and autonomy of clients, and promoting their safety and well-being. 

Through effective communication, teamwork, and ongoing professional development, I also demonstrated my commitment to lifelong learning, reflective practice, and the continued improvement of my skills and knowledge as an occupational therapy student.
