Introducing our new OTs working in Higher Education community
Supporting educators in OT
If you’re working in higher education and supporting pre-registration occupational therapy (OT) learners, a dedicated RCOT community has been created just for you.
This closed community brings together professionals involved in education to connect, share experiences and learn from one another. It offers a supportive and collaborative space where you can explore best practice, strengthen your expertise and access peer support.
We know how valuable it is to have a space where you can connect with others involved in pre-registration education. This community has been created for you—to share experiences, learn from peers and feel supported in your role. Whether you’re just starting out or bringing years of expertise, it’s a place to ask questions, exchange ideas and strengthen your practice together.”

Pre-registration education plays a vital role in preparing the next generation of occupational therapists, with thousands of learners studying across the UK each year and new cohorts joining annually. Supporting those who teach and shape this learning is essential to ensuring a confident, skilled and future-ready workforce.
Whether you’re new to an education role or bring extensive experience, the community offers opportunities to reflect on your practice, build confidence and stay connected with peers facing similar challenges.
Within this community, you can:
- Ask for advice and support from peers who understand the challenges of pre-registration OT education
- Share your insights and experience to support others and contribute to collective learning
- Exchange resources and practical tools to enhance teaching and learning
- Explore ideas and approaches to develop and strengthen your practice
- Start or join conversations that spark reflection and discussion
- Connect with a wider network of educators and feel part of a supportive professional community
