OTnews

You can help us celebrate our profession by sharing your success stories! We’re always looking for news and features about your innovative service developments and best practice. We also run a series of special focus issues each year.

Read our author guidelines to find out how to submit an article. Get in touch with us if you’ve got an idea you’d like to discuss. And remember that you’ll need to have your employer’s approval before submitting your article.

The copy deadline for each issue is the 26 of each month, before publication. If your article isn’t time critical, it may be used in a future issue. We can’t guarantee that every article will be published.

OTnews is the ideal publication to reach occupational therapists – from students just starting out in their careers, to researchers and consultant occupational therapists. It’s the only dedicated best practice magazine, distributed monthly to all RCOT members, reaching all levels of the profession.

If you have a job role to advertise, choosing OTnews within your recruitment campaign will help you attract high-calibre candidates with a wide range of competencies, including analytical and problem-solving skills, managerial acumen, communication skills, creative flair, and so much more.

If you’re an RCOT member, you can request to use OTnews as one of the ways to recruit other members to take part in your research project. Research recruitment is featured in the ‘Professional Resources’ section of the magazine.

Before you make your request, you’ll need ethics approval for your study. Publication isn’t guaranteed, as it depends on the space available each month.
