Ten minutes with James Deasy of Mercy University Hospital

James Deasy is an Occupational Therapy Manager in Cork city's Mercy University Hospital, where he's worked for over a decade

"The best part of my job is seeing patients. It’s the reason I started in the profession. I love finding ways to help them live the best lives they can," shares James.

How did you get started in your role?

I took a circuitous route into Occupational Therapy. As a school leaver I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do so I decided to study what interested me and completed an Arts degree in History and Archaeology in University College Cork.
