Hi
Am writing from the US, but presume our ethical codes are pretty much the same- that
said- it's always been my understanding that we have a moral responsibility to insure
(as best we can) that , when we see a clients needs, we see to it that those needs are
met- in the clients best interest. Sometimes that means taking care of the problem
directly ourselves, sometimes it means referring the client to another colleague who
may be better suited to deal with the problem, sometimes it means getting
consultation/assistance/guidance from a better skilled or experienced colleague when
the change to another therapist would be traumatic to the client.Of course, the
treatment venue, and its potential for having the best feasible resources comes in to
play in determining the right choice as well.So - my essential answer is - it depends
on th esituation.

Subject: [OTnow] Whose role ?
Hi all,
until now I have been an interested spectator in the list but prompted by
Ron's recent comment that there are few active participants on the list,
thought I would gain your opinions about an issue I'm looking at regarding
interagency working within a small area of the UK.
If a person who has a learning disability requires OT for a problem
unrelated to thier learning disability for example due to a orthopeadic
condition do people feel the OT in the local team for people with learning
disability should see them, or do you feel they should be seen by the OT in
the orthopeadic dept, or some combination ?
I would be grateful for your thoughts/ comments.
Best wishes to you all
Jason
