OT increases well-being and saves the NHS money 💚💸 Did you know, having a consultant OT led stroke unit resulted in patients spending on average 32 less days in hospital. Also, having OTs in GP surgeries reduced the number of visits to the GP by up to 72% #ChooseOT #OTweek2020

These are all so true.. thanks for sharing #OTweek2020 . Another great reason to choose OT. #ChooseOT
