Service Innovation

Everyone should get the occupational therapy they need. Our health and social care systems are for everyone. These are simple, uncontroversial aims but we all know that health inequality has got worse since the first Marmot report in 2009, and has deteriorated still further during the pandemic.

Health equity is all our business, and is one of RCOT’s priorities for 2022.

This report sets out practical ways in which decision-makers and system designers can use the skills offered by occupational therapy to make better use of existing resources.

Tell us about your service and the difference it makes

Tell us about your service and the difference it makes. Your occupational therapy example should clearly describe the type of service, the interventions used and how this leads to outcomes such as improved physical health or social activity. It is also vital that you detail cost savings, for example how hospital stays have been reduced. This will give us powerful information to use in our campaign and for you to use with managers and commissioners.
