everyday and provide a plan

short term for their stay

long term when they are fit to go

Assisting in OT

a good helping hand is as

important as an healing
scalpel
On-Call

New patients come 24/7, and usually

during hours at night which you don’t
expect anyone to be conscious

In-patients can deteriorate, some so

quickly you could not imagine
