My action plan for the next 12 months

Over the next 12 months, my action plan as a newly qualified OT will focus on strengthening my confidence, competence and professional identity whilst ensuring I continue to practice safely and effectively. Although I feel ready to enter practice fully qualified, I recognise I still have limitations and room for development particularly around:

• managing a full caseload independently
• leading MDT discussions
• Working confidently with complex or high risk cases

To address this, I will continue to engage in structured supervision, ongoing CPD and reflective practice to consolidate skills and deepen clinical reasoning. This is essential for supporting me to transition into a safe, autonomous therapist. Demonstrating consistent, high quality documentation, effective risk assessment and increased confidence in complex situations will indicate progress and improvement. 

This action plan will guide my development over the next year and ensure I continue to expand the necessary skill set to grow as a competent professional.
