PrehabWorks combines allied health skills with life coaching and computers to achieve a healthy life balance.
PrehabWorks services support people to overcome barriers to using computers in their daily lives. The barriers may be physical disability, environmental or changes in memory and way information is handled.
PrehabWorks, created by Sarah Adamson, combines the skills and experience gained over 30 years. During this time working as a general and paediatric nurse, growing her own children and broadening allied skills to include occupational therapy, health promotion and life coaching. Volunteering with a computing for older people group Sarah has extended a productive lifestyle in older people at work and in leisure activities.
Sarah has used computers for 40 years. From her first use at school on an IBM Terminal to daily use today, and from creating databases to inputting data in massive databases, such as those used by the NHS, she has picked out applications that are most useful in her life. Her current challenge is finding ways for those less used to computers to gain confidence and learn to do whatever interests them.
