Abiodun Lawanson

I have over 6 years experience working as an Occupational Therapist in the UK and India working within the NHS and private sector. I have experience working with clients of all ages and backgrounds and have a special interest in Neurological Occupational Therapy in which I have gained a wealth of experience. I have now delved into the world of Case Management and am keen to put my well honed skills to work by assisting clients through the complexities of life after catastrophic injuries.

 

Throughout my career, I have worked in various rehabilitation settings including psychiatric units, neurological occupational therapy departments, and paediatric hospitals. During this time, I have treated clients with a range of needs including visual and auditory impairments, stroke patients, individuals with mental health issues, and brain injury patients.

 

I have a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Occupational Therapy and a Master’s in Occupational Therapy and Neuroscience. I am also registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

 

As an Occupational Therapist, I have gained extensive experience in assessing and monitoring rehabilitation progress, setting and implementing therapeutic goals and activities, writing client reports, leading and supervising a team of occupational therapy assistants and rehabilitation support workers, and facilitating complex discharge packages. Alongside this, I have experience working within a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team and has liaised with several professionals including consultants, physiotherapists, speech therapists, surgeons, prosthetists, and social workers.

​

Outside of work, I really enjoy sports watching and playing sports, particularly football and basketball. I am also a family man and enjoy spending precious time with my family.
