💚 From classrooms to offices, OTs help people learn, work and thrive. Share how you’re making a difference, tag us and use #OTWeek25 and #RightTimeOT

#RightTimeOT: OT in Scotland 💚 The Scottish Government's Population Health Framework focuses on community-based care. OTs are already working across these services to reduce health inequalities, save money and improve outcomes. To grow community-based services, OT must be central to future planning.

We are absolutely thrilled that Professor Leeanne Carey and Dr Liana Cahill from Australia are coming to Edinburgh to deliver the only in person SENSe workshop this year in the UK. We are now taking notes of interest. Please see the flyer for details.

An inspiring afternoon at our allied health professional dementia webinar listening to three of our AHP leaders in dementia, sharing the impact of their work in three health boards in Scotland for people with lived experience, the local communities and for the local AHPs. Loved it.
