I have a place to study the Occupational Therapy PgDip this Sep, but I have a lot of doubts and concerns over a career in OT as a result of my own service user OT experience and how admin based the role now seems to be.

I would be grateful for any insight on the current landscape of OT within the UK, both from the NHS and private practice.

Areas I'm keen to hear about are: Is the role now basically an admin based one? Are there opportunities to be creative (use art, gardening, writing groups) in interventions? How have you found the work / life balance? Could OT be used as a springboard for careers that are more holistic and art / activity based within the charity sector?
