The #RCOT #Wales Network are excited to invite you to their first Community Conversation.

This is a live, virtual #CPD activity designed to be informal, interactive and participant-driven.

They’ll explore challenges, share insights and spark ideas to strengthen our practice.

Find out more about the manifesto, how we're engaging with political parties and have your say on the #RCOT communities platform: communities.rcot.co.uk/topics/49483...

⬆️ And if we are to build an OT community on Bluesky it would be great if #RCOT followed as many occupational therapists as possible.

Following Bluesky accounts - even ones which seem inactive - may prompt people to join the conversation.

On the 10th day of Christmas, I give to you a starter pack of occupational therapy lecturers, researchers & a few students. Give them a follow to prompt them to be active.
Let OT students know that #RCOT is on Bluesky
+ If 50 OT students follow me, I'll make a new starter pack to share

Still a few participants short. Please make OT inclusive

Screengrab of a webinar talk. Four boxes form an interconnected diagram, with the title "Life is like a sausage."

So glad I managed to make time to watch the #RCOT webinar from Michael Iwama, creator of the Kawa model. A wonderful speaker, really down-to-earth and realistic, an honour to hear him speak.

This is my favourite moment.

What an incredible experience we’ve had over the past two days!

Thank you to The OT Show for hosting an amazing event, connecting the vibrant and diverse community of occupational therapy students and healthcare professionals.

My 1 photo from the #OTshow yesterday. I am an #RCOT member and miss the in person conferences. It was great to be amongst so many OTs yesterday.
Time to sort through the many tote bags, information and freebies!

Three group photos of people showing that they are at an Occupational Therapy event.

Day 1… Completed it mate!!

Such a brilliant day networking and grabbing all the tote bags & freebies with @sarahot24.bsky.social

Occupational therapists have a role/opportunity here: base us within the jobcentre infrastructure & we will enable vocational rehabilitation, reasonable adjustments etc for those with long-term health conditions #theTimeisNow #RCOT

Julie and I are thrilled to have our research paper included in this systematic review. Thank you Wenting, Sally and Emily for adding to this body of knowledge and for supporting the OT workforce. #RCOT #BJOT

Looks very interesting! Will this be an #RCOT webinar?

Any occupational therapists out there in the Blue Sky? I’m doing a thing ☺️ #RCOT #occupation (btw - I’m a novice, don’t even know if hashtags work!)
