It has been a pleasure working with Birrell Associates on major home adaptations for clients following serious injury. Their input has been invaluable in the design and specification stage, to ensure specific needs are considered and incorporated early in the process.
Please pass on my thanks to Matt Birrell for his excellent report. It was extremely detailed and provided the reader with an excellent insight into the clients difficulties’ at this time.
We found Lucy to be very knowledgeable in regard to statutory funding and has helped the family to attain social services input for equipment. This was really important because of his funding restraints. Thank you for recommending her.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Matt Birrell. I was firstly impressed with the thoroughness and thoughtfulness of Matt’s initial assessment report and it has been clear that the intervention and support offered has been consistently tailored to the client’s personal values and needs, and has also included the impact & needs of the entire family. Matt has been a warm and supportive MDT colleague, providing detailed and regular updates- he is clearly committed to achieving the best outcome for clients and I would welcome any opportunity to work alongside him in future.
Many thanks again for your comprehensive set of recommendations, Matt. You clearly have a very good eye to assess my needs and limitations, so we value your professional help.
I have instructed Matt on a couple of case management cases recently where an equipment and adaptations OT has been required. I have been thrilled with his responsiveness, assessments, clinical reports and professional liaison.
I would like to pass on my personal thanks to Lucy for the manner in which she conducted the assessment with mum. She demonstrated outstanding professionalism along with entirely appropriate sensitivity, understanding and empathy and that is so very much appreciated. I would highly recommend you to friends and family.
Client feedback following contact with Matt is always positive, and his assessments are thorough and concise. I work with Matt on a number of cases, he works closely with the client and their family, the case manager and the MDT, to move clients forward through their rehabilitation journey. Matt is an excellent OT to work with.
