Helping people everywhere value the life-changing power of occupational therapy
Occupational therapists see beyond diagnoses and limitations. They focus on hopes and aspirations. They work with you to recommend adjustments to the way you live by looking at the relationship between the activities you do every day, the challenges you’re facing, and your environment. These adjustments are practical, realistic and personal to you, to help you achieve the breakthroughs you need to elevate your everyday life.
Who we are
This includes giving members opportunities to learn, research, teach, practice and continuously improve their knowledge and skills. We also work with healthcare commissioners, political leaders and others to position occupational therapy as a solution at the heart of health and social care.
Our future
We have a vision, that people everywhere value the life-changing power of occupational therapy.
To achieve it, we’re raising the profile of occupational therapy, attracting more people to the profession, and helping everyone who needs it get the life-changing therapy they need.
We’re the powerful advocate and high-profile champion that the UK’s occupational therapists deserve. Proudly inclusive, we also welcome and support new generations of occupational therapists and are working to create a profession that reflects the diverse society we work with.
