Occupational Therapy Awareness week, 3 - 7 November 2008
This year the theme of Occupational Therapy Awareness week will be 'Occupational Therapists - focus on the everyday things we do'. A toolkit will be developed to help enable occupational therapists to run a successful and co-ordinated Occupational therapy week. Information on how you can access a toolkit as well as the other resources available will be published here, when available. In the meantime, please start thinking about how you and your colleagues can celebrate the week.
