This was an often challenging environment and required large amounts of patience. My communication skills were also needed to enable me to successfully develop relationships or negotiate conflicts with various stakeholders, from clients and families to management and contract providers. I needed to plan my time well to accommodate both one-to-one client time and documentation commitments. I was responsible for developing and delivering training to other staff, I led quality improvement projects, and overtime became one of the senior members of the therapy team. Working in neuro-rehab has taught me the value of feedback. Clients benefited from my feedback to them, and I have valued the feedback I get from both clients and management, to enable me to improve.
