Today Closomat is supporting Healthcare Students at Manchester Metropolitan University, by attending their annual 'older adults equipment fair'.
It's been a great experience sharing knowledge with a huge group of hungry minds.

How does cerebral palsy (CP) affect everyday life and how can occupational therapists (OTs) make a difference?

This case study offers a unique perspective to these two questions.
Told through the eyes of Rachel, who is lead OT who lives with CP (right hemiplegia).

Her story bridges the clinical knowledge and personal experience, helping us to deepen our knowledge on how CP impacts daily life and showcasing real solutions that support independence and dignity.

That’s a wrap on The OT Show 2025! We loved connecting with so many passionate OTs and sharing how Closomat can help transform daily living for the people they support. We're already looking forward to next year.

28/11/2025

It's not too late to join us for our latest webinar 'Cerebral Palsy and the Built Environment', where we’ll explore how inclusive design transforms daily life and promotes independence, safety and wellbeing.

Around 1 in every 400 children in the UK is diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP), that’s an estimated 30,000 people living with the condition today. For each of those individuals, the spaces we design directly influence how freely, safely and confidently they can live their daily lives.

Join Closomat’s live webinar, on 1 December. We hope to see you there.

We’re live at the OT Show, diving into the nitty-gritty of toileting — because when it comes to this topic, the details REALLY matter, even the slightly awkward ones.

If you want to sharpen your assessment skills, boost your confidence discussing intimate hygiene, and get to the bottom of what clients are really struggling with, come and see us on stand C-40.

In addition to the experts on our stand, we also have Emma Taylor from the Occupational Therapy Service talking openly (and brilliantly) at 12.40pm, in the Showcase Theatre.

Emma will be discussing:
- How to have frank but sensitive conversations about wiping, hygiene and sensation
- How to uncover the barriers the client is experiencing through effective activity analysis
- Preparing clients for the sensation of a wash & dry toilet — including those with dementia, learning disabilities or sensory challenges
- Language, strategies and real-world examples you can use immediately.

It’s honest, it’s practical and it’s exactly the conversation we need to be having.

Don’t miss it.
