LinksBenefits and Impact
•
As part of an overall training and education strategy, two Occupational Therapy students undertook a six week placement with their time split between mental health services and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. The students, supported by the fire safety officers, developed their role in patient safety within the community, focussing on the delivery of safe, effective and person centred services in people’s homes. The placement was evaluated and a digital film of the placement produced.
• Open and collaborative leadership approach by all agencies involved made the placement a success• Inviting students to ‘apply’ for this placement ensured
their engagement from the outset• Planned roll out of the placement model to other fire
services within Scotland has been well received and the placement was praised during a visit by Michael Matheson, Public Health Minister for Scotland
• Developed greater mutual understanding of roles across services as a result of the placement
• Students enhanced their knowledge of home fire safety and how Occupational Therapy can support this within the community
• Enhanced home fire safety assessment processes developed as a result of the placement
