Stepping into practice can feel daunting, particularly when faced with complex seating assessments and clinical decision-making. In this inspiring session, Martina Tierney, Occupational Therapist, Founder and Clinical Director of Seating Matters, encourages students and newly qualified OTs to embrace responsibility rather than shy away from it. Drawing on over 35 years of clinical experience, Martina shares practical frameworks, assessment techniques and clinical insights to build confidence in postural assessment and seating prescription. Delegates will leave inspired to trust their professional judgement, advocate for their clients and recognise the profound difference effective seating can make to health, function and quality of life.
