Maximising the opportunities for occupational therapists
Networking event
Royal College of Occupational Therapists, London
Tuesday 7 November 2017
Led by Linda Agnew, RCOT English Board Chair with Suzanne Rastrick, Chief AHP Officer, NHS England
The event
AHPs in to Action is a blueprint which can be used to support local and regional decision making about AHPs, the services they offer, how they can be most efficiently and effectively utilised and to assess areas requiring action to enable the change required to delivery future care across the system. As a profession in England, occupational therapists were key contributors to the development of AHPs into Action in the crowdsourcing phase and the event aims to follow up on this. 
Delegates will have the opportunity to look at what AHPs into Action means for occupational therapists. The day will cover:
How the profession can rise to the challenges identified
Consider the questions posed within the document
Consider how the profession can gain the maximum benefit from adopting the innovative practice advocated within the document
Delegates from across England will discuss the issues raised in AHPs into Action with Suzanne Rastrick and members of the RCOT English board. The event will be highly interactive.
