Re: [forensic_occupational_therapy] Staffing levels in groups

Hi Birgit
I used to run groups with settled pts on the ward however I wouldnt
recommend it as the rest of the team come to expect it and its not
really safe.
Need to impress the need upon the service and team and get other
professionals involved and use OTA's.
I always like the idea of nursing staff allocated to assist with
activities each shift.
Hope it goes well.
