Well, I think it *is* part of the job. OTs (Occupational Therapists), being Monday to Friday people tend to be some of the few points of continuity in Ward Rounds etc when the shift work that Nurses have to do means that the same Nurse is rarely in these meetings 2 weeks running. Junior docs. also carry the continuity because they never go home! We all have a role in communicating well but it is possible that because OTs are used to having to liaise with absolutely everyone to do their work, they become habitual conduits between professions. The glue in the team perhaps?
