Watch: 'Future of GPs inquiry' - Welsh OTs into primary practice

By: RCOT 24 September, 2025 News 3 minute read

On Thursday 2 October, OT Kim Willis will be giving evidence to the Welsh SENEDD committee inquiry on the future of occupational therapists in GP surgeries.

Currently, only half of GP clusters in Wales have some type of access to OT. We want to see an OT in every primary care cluster and network across Wales with a focus on prevention. We're supporting the drive to get more OTs into Welsh primary practices.

Tune in

You can watch Kim Willis give supporting evidence at the SENEDD 'Inquiry into the future of general practice in Wales' committee meeting live at 9.30am, Thursday 2 October 2025 on SENNED.TV.

If you can't make the live event, we’ll be posting key clips of the hearing after the inquiry hears Kim’s evidence. Details will be posted on this page.

This Senedd inquiry is a great opportunity to showcase what OTs can achieve in primary care. By working with GP practices in the community, OTs are putting into action our aim of having a health service with a dedicated focus on prevention and early intervention."
