Occupational therapists get royal visit
Tuesday 27th April 2010
A number of people with occupational therapy jobs recently met the Duke of York.
He was visiting the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital's (RNOH's) new outpatient assessment centre, which cost £5 million to create.
Located on Bolsover Street in London, the facility provides a variety of services in addition to occupational therapy, including imaging technology and orthotics.
Chief executive of the centre Rob Hurd said it was a pleasure to meet the duke.
The manager added: "[He] showed a real interest in the work that is undertaken at the centre and also the plans for rebuilding the Trust's Stanmore site."
Mr Hurd went on to claim that the centre is a "fantastic facility" for patients in the local area and noted that staff were keen to show this to the royal on his visit.
A national centre of excellence, the RNOH provides neuro-musculoskeletal healthcare to patients with a range of conditions.
