That goes down to the proper clinical governance and oversight. Part and parcel of having a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary team is the ability to provide clinical governance and proper training for trainees coming through, such as third-year and fourth-year OTs and physiotherapists. That means they will have a breadth of experience. It also allows people in those teams to specialise. It is, therefore, also creating a pathway in specialist areas at the same time as growing our pool of people who are able to work within the community.
