Prudence OT - Medico Legal

As OT Week draws to a close I would like thank each of the amazing occupational therapists working with us at Prudence OT - Medico Legal . Lead by Principal OT, Christine Eloff, our team is one of the country’s leading providers of medico legal assessment and reporting. As I’ve often said here, occupational therapists and other allied health specialist are unsung heroes throughout our community. Guiding, and providing care, solutions and support to people in need. It is commonly known that occupational therapists play a leading role in assisting people who have a physical injury, or disability. It is probably not so well known that OTs can pay play an important role in assisting people with psychological injury. We had the recent honour of having our Senior OT, Antonette Owen present a paper at the Australian Lawyers Alliance 2024 National Conference on the important role occupational therapists play in assisting those with psychological injury.

The Australian Lawyers Alliance WA National Conference kicks off tomorrow and runs through to Friday, and we couldn’t be more excited! We’re proud to announce that Stewart Luxton and our very own senior occupational therapist, Antonette Owen, will be attending, representing Prudence OT - Medico Legal. Antonette will be presenting on "Occupational Therapy Medicolegal Insights for Psychological Injury," offering valuable perspectives on managing psychological injury cases through the lens of occupational therapy. This is a must-attend session for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this crucial area. Don’t miss out, and be sure to connect with Antonette directly for more insights and advice. See you there! 😊
