Occupational therapy is the profession of participation
Celebrating OT Week 2026, RCOT has published a new informed view setting out why occupational therapists are experts in enabling participation.
A new strategy shaped by you, our members
Shaped by thousands of members, our new strategy sets out how we'll champion what matters to you, address the challenges OTs face every day and focus our efforts on advocacy, CPD and the impact of our profession
Participation changes everything... what's your story?
We're inviting all OTs, partner organisations, people with lived experience of OT, carers, families and supporters to share a short video about the difference participation makes in people's lives.
