Lots to reflect on in the closing session at #WFOT2026 about the future of the profession - key takeaways for my practice: - Equipping our #SalfordUniOT graduates with entrepreneurship and leadership skills is key - We need to encourage and support students to make global networks whilst studying

Great day at #WFOT2026 yesterday, listened to some inspiring talks, made connections with international (and UK!) occupational therapists and shared work on practice education enablers and barriers and queering the curriculum Lots to bring back and share with colleagues and students #SalfordUniOT

Listening to the AI symposium at #WFOT2026 Karen Jacobs (session chair) says the question not how AI will touch our profession but how we as OTs engage with it. AI WILL be used in OT and reflect priorities, assumptions and blind spots of those who engage with it, therefore OTs need to engage

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.

We are here! #SalfordUniOT attending #WFOT2026 in Bangkok, looking forward to a week of learning, networking and sharing good practice!
