Report recommendations
For service improvement and to prevent future recurrence, we asked the Trust to provide training for Occupational Therapists on the importance of communication when transferring a patient between therapists.
We also asked it to carry out an audit to see whether children with developmental delay are being provided with the necessary equipment to help progress their standing and walking skills.
