Extended scope placements offer students the chance to work beyond traditional occupational therapy roles. These placements take place over the second semester of Year 2, where students work in pairs or small groups for three days a week within a placement setting, returning to university two days a week. Students focus on developing interventions tailored to the needs of service users with onsite supervision guiding their professional development. This experience enriches their educational journey, enhances communication skills, and prepares them for versatile roles in the healthcare environment.
