Each month JustOT would like to recognise one of our locums for their personal achievement and commitment to the Occupational Therapy Service!

Name: Sarah Piesse
Profession: Occupational Therapist
Where are you from? Wagin, Western Australia
Current Locum position? Acute Elderly Inpatient, Band 6

Personal achievements within the role?
As this is my first UK locum role, I have gained an enormous sense of satisfaction and confidence from navigating my way through a entirely unfamiliar health system.

What do you enjoy about being a locum?
Locum work has allowed me to broaden my clinical experiences as an Occupational Therapist and also capitalise on my love of travelling. I have taken advantage of every opportunity to explore the beautiful county of Dorset and beyond!

Most memorable moment within your career?
Working with a very supportive and skilled therapy team to troubleshoot complex discharge cases over the Winter pressures period.

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 items would you take?
1.) My laptop full of music and photos (and although highly implausible - wireless internet would be lovely too!).
2.) Extraordinarily long novel to read.
3.) Basic survival kit with complimentary hammock!

Thanks for taking part!
The JustOT Team
