With RCOT’s OT week this year focusing on ‘prevention and early intervention’, this webinar will look closely at identifying the risks for individuals if their posture starts to change. We will discover how early intervention can help support and maximise our patient's independence and function, and in-turn greatly reduce risks of secondary health complications.
