    Hi there.

    Write to the OT department of your local hospital and request a placement. Explain your situation and if they cannot help you ask who can.
    Is there a Community OT in your area? Find out and ask them if they would be happy for your accompany them once or twice.
    Good luck!:)

    Hi LOC,

    There are a tonne of websites out there that give advice on writing personal statements for Uni. Here are two example OT ones that I found with a quick google search. Obviously you can't use them but they might give you an idea of what sort of stuff you should include.
