Different settings use different clinical models or frameworks suitable for their area, which you will be supported to develop your understanding of. You will also be supported to work through specific competencies to evidence your developing skills in each specialism., In all the B5 posts you will be supported by senior Occupational Therapy colleagues and a wider multi-disciplinary team. If this is your first qualified post, you will be supported to complete your preceptorship as part of our Flyer Programme.

We are really proud of the range of clinical areas covered by our rotation, and the breadth of experience this will give our rotational OTs. We hope that this rotation, along with our B5 Development Group and our award-winning preceptorship programme (The Flyer Programme) gives recently qualified OT's a great start to their career.
