Proposes an approach to service delivery which offers a seamless approach for clients and organisations. The vision is to achieve joint working of an integrated range of occupational therapy services that will bring an end to confusion and duplication for people who need to use them. The strategy focuses on the organisation of statutory service delivery. This means getting occupational therapists with the right knowledge and skills at the right place and time. The proposal is for a community based general practitioner model to ensure an integrated approach that enables services to be developed as a continuum that is responsive to the needs of service users, their carers and families.
