Today marks four years since the death of George Floyd highlighted the inequalities and racism still impacting society.

As an organisation, we have made a strong commitment to anti-racism in our Equity, Diversity and Belonging (EDB) Strategy and set out the actions we’ll be taking over the next three years. Look out for our discrimination and allyship toolkit coming later this summer.

Thank you Royal College of Occupational Therapists for highlighting this👏🏽👏🏽

Delighted to convene RCOT's Northern Ireland Workforce Strategy advisory group today

Fantastic morning spent in Lisburn with the Heads of Occupational Therapy from all five health and social care Trusts. A useful conversation about the support the profession needs to be able to transform lives across Northern Ireland

All transformation is about changing behaviour 🤜🏽🤛🏽🙌🏽

#PreventionEarlyIntervention is an act of #socialjustice . It’s about changing the odds, not meeting the odds. It’s about delivering what matters to people so that our health, care and education services are relevant to them!
Sounds like a job for #occupationaltherapyworkforce

Understanding #PreventionEarlyIntervention through an anthropological lens. What a treat to hear from geniuses at SOAS University of London
Because it’s all about people, how we relate, our value system and conceptualisation of health and wellbeing 🫶🏽
