Carmel - NHS Occupational Therapist and Care Expert“The team help keep my focus on maintaining and improving the quality of my reports.”
What is in a Care Expert Report?
The functional assessment
A face-to-face functional assessment in the claimant’s home considering past, present and future needs across all areas of daily living. You will utilise your already established assessment skills. We will provide you with guidance and tips on completing a Care Expert assessment, however, we do expect that you hold these core skills already.
Care and support needs
Having experience in a community setting recommending complex personal care packages puts you in a very strong position as a Care Expert. This varies from simple agency packages to more complex 24/7 care with directly employed care teams. Care tends to be the largest section in our reports, because of the overall complexity and values involved. The Recruitment Team will be able to elaborate further on how we help you resource your costs in this section. No long division involved, we promise!
Aids and Equipment
Use the latest technology to return a claimant to the level of functional independence they enjoyed before their injury. No restrictions here! Use your relationships with reps and attendance at trade shows to maintain your knowledge of the leading products.
Housing adaptations
Is the property suitable or unsuitable? Does it need adaptations? You decide. There is no expectation for you to replace an accommodation specialist, but your skills and experience are required to identify any necessary changes to a property. Discuss your skills in this area with our Recruitment Team if you are not sure.
Transport
It is unusual for clinicians to be familiar with a wide range of vehicles and adaptations. We have relationships with all the major providers and offer training and workshops to enhance your knowledge.
Leisure, social activities and holidays
Many of our Experts with a statutory services background have never had the opportunity to make such broad recommendations before. A truly holistic approach! We are returning the individual to as close to their pre-injury position as possible, without betterment, so we have to consider their life as a whole.
