As we reflect on a recent seminar hosted at Trinity College Dublin, we extend a heartfelt thank you to the dedicated Occupational Therapy students who participated in Andrew Semple's 'Introduction to Basic Wheelchair and Seating Provision' session. Your engagement and enthusiasm contributed greatly to the success of this event.
The seminar was carefully crafted with aspiring occupational therapists in mind, offering a hands-on experience tailored to those preparing to enter the dynamic field of seating assessment and provision. Throughout the sessions, attendees actively participated in interactive discussions and practical exercises, aimed at deepening their understanding of seating solutions and wheelchair technologies.
Specifically, the course provided comprehensive insights into manual wheelchairs, laying a strong foundation for students to develop their skills and expertise in clinical practice. By immersing themselves in hands-on activities, participants not only expanded their knowledge but also gained practical experience crucial for their future careers.
We are especially grateful to our colleague, Michael Healy, whose presence and contribution enriched the seminar. Michael generously provided a range of wheelchairs for participants to explore and engage with during the practical sessions. This support from Beechfield Healthcare ensured that attendees had access to diverse wheelchair models, facilitating a comprehensive learning experience and hands-on familiarization with different types of equipment.
At Beechfield Healthcare, our commitment to enhancing education and training opportunities for occupational therapists is unwavering. We believe that empowering future practitioners with the necessary tools and knowledge is essential for advancing the field of seating assessment and provision. The success of the Trinity College Dublin seminar underscores our dedication to supporting the growth and development of occupational therapy professionals.
As we look forward to future collaborations and educational initiatives, we extend our sincere appreciation to the Occupational Therapy students at Trinity College Dublin for their participation and enthusiasm. Together, we continue to strive towards excellence in the field of occupational therapy.
