Able 2 Occupational Therapy Services Ltd will provide you with the opportunity to allocate a number of assessments dependent upon the needs of your service. Our Occupational Therapists are able to undertake either a large number of referrals on your behalf to enable you to effectively tackle your waiting list or smaller numbers on a monthly or individual basis to maintain an effective and efficient service.
Following the Initial Assessment Able 2 Occupational Therapy Services will produce a detailed Assessment Report and will arrange for the necessary equipment, minor and major adaptations to be provided, undertaking review calls and visits where necessary. By doing so, Able 2 relieve the administrative and professional burden and subsequent cost to Children and Adult Social Care Services whilst ensuring that your service user is supported and assisted throughout the process.
It is no longer acceptable to have long waiting lists for Occupational Therapy Assessments. Able 2 provides a cost effective Occupational Therapy Service at a lower unit cost than in-house staff, which enables you to rapidly respond to those referred for an Assessment and facilitates your ability to demonstrate efficient and effective management of your service.
Our objective at Able 2 Occupational Therapy Services Ltd is to provide cost effective, complementary services which enable organisations to respond to the increasing demand for Occupational Therapist Assessment Services within the new personalisation agenda.
Able 2’s experience has been that when we enter into a contract with a new Local Authority their expectation is that it will be a short term relationship to resolve a particular service difficulty. However due to the quality, efficiency and continuity of the Occupational Therapists and administration staff’s service we continue to work and develop our relationship with them for many years. To ensure that Able 2 Occupational Therapists continue to achieve and maintain this standard we are ISO9001 accredited, which assists in the monitoring of our work ensuring that we achieve the appropriate outcome and standards required.
Able 2 has a loyal group of Occupational Therapists who dedicate their time to the community, making sure that no disability can restrict our clients from leading a fulfilled life. All of the Able 2 Occupational Therapists are highly skilled and trained. Each one is HPC registered and has a minimum of 5 years practical experience. They are strategically situated across the country and are supervised and supported by our Occupational Therapy Managers. This confirms the Able 2 commitment to providing professional, robust and relevant assessments.
However, the quality of our service is not limited to the skill and professionalism of our Able 2 Occupational Therapists. Able 2 has a team of trained dedicated administrative staff whose role is to process assessment reports accurately and efficiently and who are available for enquiries to support the client throughout the process, from 8am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 8.30am to 5pm on Friday, it is important that we are able to put your mind at ease and take the pressure out of what can potentially be a stressful situation
Supervision is provided on a monthly basis by one of our team of Occupational Therapy Managers, who will support you through your work and assist you to develop your Occupational Therapy skills further. We also conduct quarterly Training Courses that are specifically designed to meet your needs and aid you to keep your CPD up to date. You will also receive an appraisal on an annual basis.
Able 2 provides you with great flexibility to fit in with your life style, and in fact most of our Occupational Therapists work for us on a part time basis to fit in around their other responsibilities.
Our management systems have been developed to provide an appropriate and practical tool for Able 2 personnel to monitor the progress and continual improvement of our work and ensure that all elements of our service are measured with regard to quality and relevance as set out in our Mission Statement.
At the commencement of any new contracts Able 2 will appoint an Occupational Therapy Manager who together with the Business Manager will provide a clear, professional and appropriate system to summarise the requirement of the contract with regard to timescales, administrative requirements, expectations or any other directives as set out within the contract, including any monitoring tools as necessary.
We will also ensure that regular monitoring meetings take place to confirm expectations and service delivery with the relevant personnel.
We are currently working through the transition from ISO9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 and also ISO27001. We will update our web site as soon as we have completed this transition
