Royal College of Occupational Therapists

We're slowly stepping away from X. We’ll be winding down our activity over the next few months and will stop completely by the end of July. Thanks for being part of our journey here 💚 We’re still championing OT – just on other platforms. Read our full statement.

🎉 Happy 77th birthday to the NHS! We’re proud to celebrate the occupational therapists and support workers who are part of what makes it so special – helping people stay healthy and live fulfilled lives. 💚

Artwork made at our Stroke and Neurosciences Art Group has gone on display in our hospital. The group is held on our Stroke and Neurosciences wards every Wednesday and is led by an Occupational Therapist (OT), an OT assistant and a regular hospital volunteer.
