During her visit to the Church End Community Centre, Princess Anne, as Patron of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists, addressed the need for rebuilding trust in NHS services within the Somali community post-Covid. She engaged with various stakeholders, including occupational therapists, local charities, and patients, to hear about efforts aimed at addressing mental health and other health disparities. The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on the area, and this initiative strives to foster inclusive occupational therapy practices that resonate within diverse communities.
"It was meaningful to see how occupational therapy has positively impacted the lives of patients individually, and the Princess was genuinely moved by those stories."
"The visit highlighted the importance of rebuilding trust in health services, particularly after the community was heavily affected by the pandemic."
