Meet Frances Jackson

Frances Jackson told us about her role as an Occupational Therapist at Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust:

“I enjoy being able to discharge a patient safely, knowing I have done as much as I can to ensure they have progressed in their ability to complete daily living activities safely. I make sure that they have the support (as appropriate) to continue that progression to hopefully return to their pre-admission level. 

I like working flexibly through NHS Professionals as it enables me to do the job I love without the pressure of contacted employment. I have even unofficially agreed a three-day week which I plan ahead, so that the team lead can plan the workload and ward cover. The team lead is aware that if something unexpected arises, my working week could change.”
