In this episode Kwaku gathered the thoughts and feelings of black and minority ethnic occupational therapists to begin a discussion about how we can increase diversity in the profession.

These are edited highlights of our discussion which included exploration of our heritages and the effect these have had on our experiences, as well as our thoughts about continuing this conversation and how to move thoughts forwards to actions.

During the discussion we referenced the following resources:

Spencer, 2003, Four Levels of Context, p. 44 in Cole & Tufano's Applied Theories in Occupational Therapy
