So recently I was given the opportunity to present to the Royal College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Section for Children, Young People and Families. At the time I was toying around with the concept of the "Art & Science of OT" so as part of my looking into that I built this presentation that looks at where that came from and what it means for modern occupational therapists.

Professor Liz Townsend is a name that almost every OT around the world would know and have learned about some of her work.

Amy Tippol cohosts The Occupation Station podcast with her friend Ana Milanese. Today we explored Amy's journey though OT school, starting a podcast and now transitioning into the profession.

Karen will reflect on her report entitled ‘Engagement in living during the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing occupational disruption’. This essay, about occupation and wellbeing, was written in March 2020 during the uncertainties of the first weeks of the pandemic. Looking back on the intervening year, Karen will explore the deeply rooted social inequities and structural injustices that have been exposed by the pandemic; inequities that impacted occupational rights, wellbeing and the likelihood of survival itself.

Ellie Frith found herself in an acute mental health ward after experiencing some issues with her mental health. This is her story.

Taryn's unique perspective on her practice has grown into a business that offers integrated woman's pelvic floor health services.

A nice, short and sweet episode reflecting on the last 3 years of this podcast. So much work but for me personally its resulted in so much growth. Thankyou to everyone who's been involved in the podcast in any and every small way. Heres to the next 3 years

Laura brought her business to my attention via LinkedIn and right from our first conversation I was completely intrigued with what she was trying to do. As the CEO and founder of Theratrak Laura is walking a line not commonly travelled by those in the OT profession. She is not only a private business owner, an entrepreneur but she is developing a product that aims to bring OT into the digital age.

Kwaku & I started talking and let the convo go where it wanted. It drifted towards communication skills and the nuance involved in being an excellent clinical communicator.

Erik is by far one of my favourite OT's on the planet and his honestly and vulnerability in this conversation simply confirmed that for me.
