Here is news from the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), something certainly more interesting than appetite suppressant.
The new Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics and Ethics Standards (2010), adopted by the Representative Assembly during the April 2010 meeting in Orlando, is now available on the AOTA Web site.
This document integrates three previous ethics documents (the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics (2005), the Guidelines to the Code of Ethics (2006), and the Core Values and Attitudes of Occupational Therapy Practice), making it easier to use and reference.
New language to reflect current ethical issues has also been added, including a new social justice principle (Principle 4, p. 6) to promote the common good and fairness in the allocation of limited health care resources.
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) has recently released their ‘Fit for Active Work’ leaflet as part of their ‘Move for Health’ campaign.
This leaflet has been compiled with the help of chartered physiotherapists specialising in occupational health and ergonomics. The illustrations feature fictional characters but the demands their active jobs place on their bodies are very real! Millions of people across the UK have physically demanding or repetitive jobs. If you’re one of them, this leaflet explains how to improve your health while doing your active or manual work and reduce your risk of injury.
As the old saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” There’s certainly no sense in injuring oneself at work, and go through all the motions with a Texas Maritime lawyer or such, when you can be fit and healthy.
