Free online learning series to enable OTs to enhance their practice in the area of assisted toileting
Specialist manufacturer of wash and dry toilets, Closomat has developed an online learning series for occupational therapists (OTs) in coordination with The OT Service.
These ‘Learn and Lunch’ informative 30-minute sessions are designed to help OTs to enhance their practice and support their professional development, by focussing on a range of “hot topics” that OTs are currently discussing in the area of assisted toileting.
Each webinar will comprise of an initial pre-recorded presentation, featuring product demonstrations where applicable, followed by a live Q&A between senior OTs from The OT Service.
The first session is ‘Future-proofing to accommodate changing needs’, on Wednesday 27th April at 12.00 pm.
It will cover how OTs can assess long-term needs on an initial assessment; how future-proofing links with recommendations made after an assessment; compatibility of accessories, such as shower chairs; and further general advice around this issue.
Stephen Edwards, Head of Sales and Marketing at Closomat, said: “We’ve seen through our very successful webinar programme, which has been running now for around 18 months, that there is a huge thirst for knowledge amongst OTs, particularly in the area of toileting.
“After consulting with OTs, we recognised that there was a role for punchier sessions, to complement the more in-depth webinars, which could be attended during a lunch hour, for example.”
Future sessions currently planned are ‘Who benefits from a wash and dry toilet’, ‘How to use a wash and dry toilet properly’, and ‘Plus-size clients and wash/dry toilets’.
Working in partnership previously, Closomat and The OT Service held their first joint webinar of 2022, ‘Neurological – Impact of neurological trauma on bathroom activity’, which focused on the impact of neurological trauma on bathroom activity.
