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

1/2 The lunch time @elizabethcasson.bsky.social seminar has been one of the most enjoyable and insightful things I’ve been part of in recent times. Hearing Charlie, Nick and Elaine reflecting on their lectures and offer up their thoughts about the impact created was inspiring.

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? #science

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

I often think about the impact that Octavia Hill had on the young Elizabeth Casson when she worked as a housing manager for Octavia on one of her London Housing projects. It truly was formative! #BeMoreElizabeth @elizabethcasson.bsky.social

Reflecting on the OTShow & why OTs love f to f events. Yes to sessions but for me its networking opportunities. So many great conversations that I’ll share at next @elizabethcasson.bsky.social board meeting as they inform what we do to further OT. What’s important to you at such an event?

Anyone watching the latest and final season 😱 of Stranger Things

@theotshow.bsky.social I was bowled over to receive from Dearbhaile Mulholland The Power of OT by Martine Tierney. Bonus Chapter sticker? That’s me! My podcast with Martina has been transcribed & now sits alongside so many fab OTs. 1 more✔️on my professional bucket list - 2 things left😉
