Learning and Development (Workshops and Courses)

Supervision and career development workshop series

We recently ran a series of workshops focused on supervision, leadership and career development, from June to September 2026.

These workshops were designed to help OTs get more from every conversation – whether you're stepping into a supervisory role, looking to strengthen your approach or wanting to feel more confident as a supervisee.

We will be holding more sessions in 2026/2027. Please keep an eye out for future information.
