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

Name: Rhian Boon

Profession: Occupational Therapist

Where are you from? Sandy, Bedfordshire

Current Locum position? Band 6 in-patient complex neuro-rehab

Personal achievements within the role? Supporting the team and adapting my role from working with 6 to 12 patients in a challenging environment.

What do you enjoy about being a Locum? I enjoy the challenge on my skills and getting to meet new people within each new role.

Most memorable moment within your career? Trying to explain the role of an Occupational Therapist and gain consent to proceed with the OT process from a patient with no reasoning or rationalisation skills, coupled with a complete lack of insight into their cognitive difficulties!

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 items would you take?
1) A big tent.
2) An album of my favourite photos.
3) A carefully and thoughtfully packed toolbox full of useful things.
