Occupational therapy bsc Is there a bursary ?

Hello

I've just been offered a place at derby uni through clearing for the bsc hons in occupational therapy , which I'm over the moon about . However I'm clueless about the funding and I have weeks to sort it !. I know I need to apply for student finance for my fees and a maintenance loan but is there a bursary for this course does anyone know please ? From what I can see , the nhs bursary says for dental and medical students only , is this correct please ? Thank you
