We had an excellent afternoon on Tuesday, 18/6, with our lovely MSc Year 2 students! Just another few months to complete their course and to make their unique contribution to the OT world!

What a fantastic two days of #RCOT2024 💚 Thank you to everyone who made it happen, and thanks especially to you, the OTs making a difference every day.

Social prescribing is gaining traction in primary care and traditional medical models.
Gemma Bradley's (@OTNorthumbria) study found that OTs have varying levels of involvement but a positive outlook on the future alongside social prescribing colleagues. #RCOT2024
ALT Quote reads "There was a real sense of imagining a positive future if occupational therapists and social prescribers could find their positions alongside each other.” Gemma Bradley

'This is blowing my mind! 🤯' - how we all feel after Professor Michael Rowe's eye-opening plenary on using Generative AI.
A tool that can be powerful but only in collaboration with us (humans!) - don't ask AI to do the work for you, ask it to help you do better work. #RCOT2024

We've written to the Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, @VotePursglove, calling for more occupational therapists in primary care. They'll play a vital role in alleviating the current challenges on workforce retention due to health reasons.

Reading yet another book where a doctor 'discovers' the radical notion of environment and activities impacting health. So deep in the medical model they forgot 30k occupational therapists exist.
