Becky I am guessing you are in the UK. Is that right? The acronyms below are US. In Canada a qualified occupational therapist is OT(C) for certified with perhaps another letter that designates a provincial practice licence. Our qualified assistants are OTA. We don't call anyone an OT tech at least not in this province. What is their scope of practice where you are? We would refer to an SNF here in Alberta as a Long Term Care facility ie with 24 hr qualified nursing and therapy staff as opposed to supported or assisted living with some care staff. Joan
