Empowering Future Therapists: Apricus Health at James Cook University

By Apricus Health

20th May 2024

At Apricus Health, we believe in fostering a culture of warmth and professionalism, not only within our clinics but also in the broader healthcare community. This commitment was exemplified last week when our co-founder and Head of Clinical Services, Cassandra Chiesa, an accredited hand therapist, conducted several classes at James Cook University.

Cass has a long-standing tradition of engaging with students at James Cook University, where she imparts her extensive knowledge and practical skills in hand therapy. This year was no exception, with multiple sessions dedicated to teaching the next generation of occupational therapists.

Hands-On Learning: The Key to Innovation

Cass’s sessions focused on hands-on learning, a core principle of Apricus Health’s approach to therapy. Students had the opportunity to practice advanced splinting techniques, gaining invaluable experience that will serve them well in their future careers. By demonstrating these essential skills, Cass helps ensure that new graduates are well-prepared to deliver high-quality, innovative care.
