Nick Pollard
Senior Lecturer
Summary
I am professional lead in occupational therapy, vocational rehabilitation and dietetics. I enjoy teaching about social contexts for occupational therapy and community based interventions.
I have been able to write and present extensively on community based rehabilitation and on critical explorations of occupational therapy.
About
I joined Sheffield Hallam University in 2003. I worked in severe and enduring mental health settings. My previous role was part time senior occupational therapist and part time research co-ordinator at Doncaster and South Humber NHS.
I obtained my diploma in occupational therapy in 1991, MA in psychiatry, philosophy and society in 1996, MSc in occupational therapy in 2001 and doctorate in 2014.
I have coedited several landmark occupational therapy texts, notably the Occupational Therapy without Borders books, the most recent edition in 2016.
Specialist areas of interest
Long term mental health and occupation; community approaches to health through occupational engagements; autobiographical narrative in the context of community publication and adult literacy as 'occupational narrative' and what this can tell us about meaningfulness; the relationship between this lived experience and a political understanding of occupation; and related to this, the exploration of aspects of 'doing, being, becoming and belonging' - exploring plastic modelling and the activities around this as an example
