Occupational Therapy at Sheffield Hallam University

Wishing all our students past and present a very Happy Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 time to get some Occupational balance.

We still have places on our post graduate Vocational Rehabilitation programme here at Sheffield Hallam University.
Vocational Rehabilitation can be defined as helping people who have never worked find work or vocational activities, or supporting those with a health condition to return or remain in work. This is an online distance learning programme suitable for those already working in this area or looking to develop skills.
