RCOT Communities gets even better for members

By: RCOT 24 June, 2026 News 3 minute read

Find what you need, what you didn’t know you needed and show your support for great ideas

We’re always looking for ways to improve your membership experience – and RCOT Communities is no exception.

Recently, we launched the app version of RCOT Communities.

This is great for staying up to date with the areas of practice and networks you already follow, engaging in the discussions that matter quickly and easily and feeling confident that you have an OT community in your pocket – ready to support you.

Download the app from the Play Store (Android)

Updates to the platform

The new app doesn’t mean improvements aren’t still being made to the browser platform.

Smarter searches

On both the app and the browser, you'll have access to an improved global search feature, which now delivers more relevant results across the platform.

As well as surfacing groups and pages, you’ll now see discussion posts and other content that closely match what you’re looking for – helping you get to the right insight faster.

More of what matters to you

When using the browser platform, you’ll also notice a new ‘You may be interested in’ section at the bottom of discussions and content you engage with.

This tailored recommendation feature helps you discover related topics, conversations and resources, so you can keep building your knowledge and connections.
