A group of occupational therapy colleagues standing together indoors with Gary during a visit to Cambridgeshire, where he met teams to learn about their work and impact.

Gary’s first month reflections: what you’ve told him so far 👋

Over 100 members met, visits across the UK, and lots of honest conversations. Gary’s shared what he’s hearing from OTs and how your insights are shaping his next steps.

Special message,signed John F Kennedy, from the opening of the World Congress in Philadelphia 'the tremendous power of occupational therapy in rebuilding the shattered hopes of sick and disabled people is well known'

It all begins today 09.02.2026
Opening ceremony #WFOT2026 in Bangkok

#OTHistory: can't resist sharing JFK's welcome message to 1,100 delegates in Philadelphia at the 3rd Congress in 1962. Let's make the profession even stronger!

Interesting thoughts from Elspeth Froude at #WFOT2026 - goal setting should come before assessment in OT process so that assessment and evaluation focus on occupational participation

Also a scary stat -research takes 17 yrs to get into practice-how can we as OT's support knowledge translation?

Kylie Shae from the world health organisation #WFOT2026 tells us 2.5 billion people currently need adaptive equipment or assistive tech yet only 1 billion currently have it. Occupational therapists key to bridging that gap worldwide.

Thank you @rcotpolicyscot.bsky.social for giving me a copy at the meeting today. Great to see the 6 steps mentioning primary care (mental health OT could have such an impact), advanced practice (impact from leading QI and research could be significant) and workforce planning tool

It was such a treat!

2/2 Thanks to Charlie, Nick & Elaine and the 30+ OTs who joined raising great questions. We didn’t get to answer all but will and post a summary of all on our web page. The seminar was a great opportunity to engage with our fab community.

Infographic Occupational Therapy Promoting Participation in Occupation

How does #OccupationalTherapy aim to promote participation in occupation at individual and systemic levels?

Is there a clear evidence base for enabling participation in the occupations of making art, dance, community choirs? How do these impact physical, social and emotional wellbeing?

Taught a wonderfully engaged group of students about #OccupationalTherapy in prisons at YorkStJohn today. I’m increasingly reassured by the increased understanding of adverse childhood experiences & the more permissive attitudes students have towards those who offend. Change is occurring #ForensicOT
