Looks fascinating. Intriguing title of seminar today: people without history are dust.

When deaccession becomes self-destruction. Shameful loss of significant heritage assets at the Royal Society of Medicine.

Fantastic idea: a free online library about nurse effectiveness, covering health equity, patient experience, provider satisfaction, value of care, and population health. Something to replicate for #AlliedHealthProfessions #OccupationalTherapy rnao.ca/bpg/research...

Recommended reading about colonization and decolonization. Big bonus: the online version is downloadable for free at: www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mon...

Extraordinary - a play set in an #OccupationalTherapy kitchen in a secure unit. In London now ... Would love to know the back story. Thanks @casmilus.bsky.social for sharing review.

Take heed! An example - which concludes with a warning: 'we must be alert to the very real dangers of A.I. and its potential to simplify, and ultimately impoverish, the study of the past', courtesy of Gordon McKelvie www.historyworkshop.org.uk/practice-his...

1/2 Wow - lovely to see such pride in our #OTHistory First from adult social services in the community, in the UK socialworkwithadults.blog.gov.uk/2025/10/27/a...

New #OTHistory! Thanks for sharing Katharine Burrage's story, as told by Bernie Zelitch. Always keen to find forgotten pioneers. Sharing with colleagues @_allisulli @ChrisAlterio any others who know much more about American founders/early proponents, than us. substack.com/@berniezelit...?

'Health and care workers: the oath takers and defenders of the right to health' - essential reading for anyone interested in international health systems and services. www.icn.ch/news/un-spec...

It's a special day tomorrow 27 October. International #OccupationalTherapy day at the World Federation of Occupational Therapy (WFOT). Why not celebrate and share with our community of 633,000 #OccupationalTherapists.

Vale Jane Goodall, an extraordinary and innovative researcher of natural behaviour in real life settings.

Love the title of this new book: Woman in Health Management - global revolutionaries. Includes a chapter about Ann Beckett: A Pioneering Irish #OccupationalTherapist, by Judith Pettigrew, Mairead Cahill and Jennifer O’Mahoney.

It certainly is! Fantastic library- space for contemplation and inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Well done Scotland - NHS Grampian for marking the centenary of Margaret Barr Fulton www.nhsgrampian.org/100-years-si...

Wow! 3 papers about #OTHistory on the @thewfot Congress programme in Bangkok in February 2026.

Well done to the Heritage Team @RCPEdin and @thecsp for correcting history (and obituary) of Dr Justina Wilson: to recognise a pioneering woman and her contribution to health. www.rcpe.ac.uk/heritage/her...

Recommended reading: a moss bag is such an evocative metaphor. A giant step towards decolonising #OccupationalTherapy research. Free to read in Canadian Journal @CAOT_ACE journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Fascinating history of the South African Journal of Occupational Therapy from 1953 to 2025. Exemplary open access since 2023; plus archives from 2010. Serves as a model for all those journals that restricit #OccupationalTherapy knowledge to a few. journals.assaf.org.za/index.php/sajo…

A devastating critique of an uncurated, uncatalogued collection @profdanhicks.bsky.social A new museum/archive/warehouse in London with 'at least a thousand unlabelled items sitting on the shelves. There’s no way of finding out what they are'. Extraordinary! artreview.com/what-isnt-at...

Harrowing stories from the archives: theconversation.com/friday-essay...

Fabulous resource: so easy to navigate and full of fascinating histories. Thanks @remakingbritain.bsky.social

Botley's Park was one of the first #OccupationalTherapy training schools in the UK, opening in January 1949 with 6 students. It provided a rare opportunity to gain experience of working with people with profound learning disabilities. Training ended in 1976. A brief history Wilcock's 2002 book.

Exemplary advocacy and activism: OT Mental Health Parity Act, led by Congressmen Tim Kennedy & Zach Nunn. 'It’s about giving folks meaningful tools to stay independent, safe, and healthy.' Rep. T. Kennedy #OccupationalTherapist in USA Congress. More at kennedy.house.gov/news/documents…

New book about 'welfare' intriguing chapters and free to download: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

@CJOT_RCE is becoming a favourite journal! Why? Authors take deep, thoughtful dives into topical subjects, often using innovative methods. Also, many free to read articles. Why not share your favourite #OccupationalTherapy journal? Two examples from early view

Wow! What special issue of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy! 25 thought provoking articles on diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, accessibility and belonging Brave. Right thing to do @AOTAInc in political context Must read @BAMEOTUK @AbleOTUK @LGBTQIAOTUK

Vale Betty Yerxa, a legendary #OccupationalTherapist - educator, researcher, theoretican and one of the founders of #OccupationalScience chan.usc.edu/news/latest/...

Epic! Well done to the Canadian Association @CAOT_ACE for creating an open access, clearing house about economic evaluations of #OccupationalTherapy Explore at caot.ca/site/prac-res/…

At last, #OccupationalTherapy permits public debate of 'geopolitics' Well done the American Journal of Occupational Therapy. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

1/3 Wikipedia year2! Editing, monitoring and learning continues. Here's our annual report about the activities to increase the presence of #OccupationalTherapy on 1 of the top 10 websites.

Always happy to share important information, especially when relates to children and reminds of Susan E Tracy, a remarkable founder who wrote about occupation for children in 1910.

Help - we're in a quandary about the #OccupationalTherapy entry on Wikipedia. It's huge! We are planning to do some editing. Any comments or suggestions below would be appreciated. Thanks

Fantastic opportunity @thewfot 2026 Congress in Bangkok. Call for abstracts has history as a theme alongside theory and models. Submission deadline is approaching fast - 28 February! Please retweet and consider sharing #OTHistory in your country. wfotcongress2026.org/call-for-abs...

Why do we love Wikipedia? Simple - it's all about impact! It's a free, sustainable way to amplify 'notable' #OTHistory and #OTHistory makers. It's countering decades of neglect and damage to our heritage. Check out impressive impact of Nurses in Red @rcnlibraries.bsky.social project.
