    From graduate to reflective practice scholar
    (College of Occupational Therapists, 2007-11) Quick, L.; Forsyth, Kirsty; Melton, J.
    The National Health Service is currently striving to deliver evidence-based, effective and efficient services. In this climate, it is important to enable new graduates to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence to meet these exacting demands, in an effective and supportive environment. This is of particular importance because there is growing concern over the retention of new graduates. If new graduates do not receive effective support to complete the transition to a competent professional, then the concern is that they may choose to leave the profession and/or seek new roles. This opinion piece argues for an academic/practice partnership to provide the needed support structures to allow graduates to become competent professionals. Two examples are provided, which embrace such partnership working.

    Program Redesign Based on the Model of Human Occupation: Inpatient Services for People Experiencing Acute Mental Illness in the UK
    (2008) Melton, J.; Forsyth, Kirsty; Metherall, A.; Robinson, J.; Hill, J.; Quick, L.
    This paper discusses the current context of the UK mental health service system and the resulting need for program change within acute-care inpatient hospitals. The primary focus is to illustrate through practice example what can be done to support the delivery of client treatment packages by using the concepts described by the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO). The paper concentrates on explaining how MOHO has helped to guide program redesign and develop an Occupational Therapy Care Pathway to support occupation-focused services. The example given is of a hospital service in Gloucestershire, England, which provides inpatient care for people experiencing acute mental illness. 2008 by Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
