Closomat webinar to reflect on Disabled Facilities Grants waiting times
Assisted bathing specialist Closomat is concluding its 2022 clinical webinar series with a reflection on Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG) waiting times and the subsequent impact they have on occupational practice.
The webinar, ‘DFG waiting lists, and impact on occupational therapy practice’, will take place on Thursday 8th December at 11am, and will then be repeated at 6pm for those that can’t make the earlier presentation.
Ending 2022 with a session on the impact of DFG waiting times on occupational practice raises a key issue in the current psyche of the healthcare marketplace.
The webinar will consider the current stresses on services, reviewing impact on therapist and client; reflection on whether practice changes have impacted on occupational therapy processes and/or standards; a review on current resources, physical and financial, and challenges meeting demand and discussions of opportunities for collaboration to support the needs of service users and those waiting for assessment.
Robin Tuffley, Marketing Manager at Closomat said: “What a year it has been! We thought 2021 was good but 2022 has been amazing in terms of visitor numbers to the webinars we’ve hosted.
“Our aim has been to cover topics that are of course relevant, but that fit within specific disciplines that OT’s work within, i.e. paediatrics, older people, plus-size and moving & handling. This way our content can count towards CPD.”
Using a variety of one hour clinical topics and half-hour pre-recorded practical sessions, Closomat has engaged with thousands of occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals over five webinar events in 2022.
Recently, Closomat continued to strengthen its educational offering for occupational therapists with a lunchtime webinar focused around how healthcare professionals can assist plus size clients.
