In the first episode of The OT Life, we talk about the misconceptions of Occupational Therapists in health and social care. Don’t get us wrong, we love barbecues and bingo. They’re meaningful activities that help the lives of the people we care for, but we believe Occupational Therapy is so much more.

Emma Crowcroft, Director of Occupational Therapy for the Midlands & Wales, chats with fellow Occupational Therapists Rebecca Griffiths and Rebecca Boothby. 

Emma, Becky G, and Becky B chat misconceptions of Occupational Therapy, what being an OT is really about and what an OT needs to do to help the people we care for this decade. They also share some tips about creating an OT identity in organisations and how OTs can raise their profile in their organisation.
