A word from Lisa Hughes
As the owner and your future manager, I have 30 years experience in paediatric OT and love sharing that knowledge with my team. I have always been a strong advocate for postgraduate learning for myself and my team, to ensure we are providing our clients with the most up to date knowledge and treatment techniques. I commit to continuing to improve the services Occupational Therapy Helping Children provides by being an active participant on a private practice board.
Our Practice Manager, Robyn Waddell, is warm and friendly and will help guide you through our administration procedures, step by step. We use practice management software to help make your administration requirements minimal. Our systems continue to improve so that you can get on with the parts of OT that you enjoy the most.
