We are proud members of the Community Rehabilitation Alliance and in recent months, we have been working with @health-ni.gov.uk on the development of a Rehabilitation Framework for Northern Ireland. We also attended a series of political roundtables, building support for a Rehab Lead in NI

Great to join @niconfederation.bsky.social event this afternoon, hearing from @health-ni.gov.uk Permanent Secretary Mike Farrar about the newly published Reset Plan. As the system considers how we can keep people well for longer, occupational therapy must be a key part of this journey #TeamOT
