Benefits of Cycling to OT Access Visits

 Occupational Therapy Susnet Event: Benefits of Cycling to OT Access Visits

Marty and a colleague used bikes for access visit to assess patient's homes for discharge from hospital. They used the Sustainable Quality Improvement Framework to look at the impact of this in terms of time, costs and carbon. The results were good on all fronts; no adverse effects on patient care, and huge benefits particularly on staff wellbeing, health and carbon savings as well as cost savings for the Trust.
