It's , a chance to raise awareness of huge contribution of disabled people to society - especially in healthcare.

It can be challenging to practise with a disability, and we especially celebrate those who do it against the odds.

For those who need it, a list of networks and initiatives that provide support for disabled healthcare professionals is available on our website:

It’s National ! �

Last week, we marked , recognising the vital contribution of occupational therapists across the UK.

Now, we’re celebrating how OTs make a difference every day - helping people recover, adapt and live independently. From rehabilitation and mental health support to helping children and older adults thrive, their work touches every part of life.

Thank you to every OT for your continued commitment to safe and effective care. �

Every year, two individuals from our Register join our Council as Apprentices.

They enrich discussions and bring unique perspectives. Council gains as much from it as they do, if not more.

⬇️ Dr Sejal Patel, a clinical psychologist, was a Council Apprentice this year. She shares her thoughts with us.

We're now recruiting for the next Council Apprentices. If you're interested, visit our website to learn more about what we're looking for and how to apply:
