The Church End neighborhood in north London, struck hard by Covid-19 with 36 deaths, has faced challenges like cramped housing and a language barrier which fueled mistrust in health services. As part of rebuilding this trust, the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust is collaborating with residents to showcase how occupational therapy can effectively cater to the culturally diverse community. Princess Anne's recent visit highlights ongoing efforts to enhance relationships between health professionals and the community, emphasizing that OT can better meet the needs of local residents, especially amid post-pandemic recovery.
"The project focuses on using the connections made between health professionals and the local community, through Brent Health Matters, to demonstrate that OT can meet the community's needs."
"Varsha said: [The Princess] was engaged in conversations and was really keen to know about OTs, where they came from and their journey and how they impacted the local community."
