About RCOT
Who we are
We’re RCOT, the Royal College of Occupational Therapists. We’ve championed the profession and the people behind it for over 90 years; and today, we are thriving with over 36,000 members. Then and now, we’re here to help achieve life-changing breakthroughs for our members, for the people they support and for society as a whole.
This includes giving members opportunities to learn, research, teach, practise and continuously improve their knowledge and skills. We also work with healthcare commissioners, political leaders and others to position occupational therapy as a solution at the heart of health and social care.
Our future
We have a vision, that people everywhere value the life-changing power of occupational therapy.
To achieve it, we’re raising the profile of occupational therapy, attracting more people to the profession, and helping everyone who needs it get the life-changing therapy they need.
We’re the powerful advocate and high-profile champion that the UK’s occupational therapists deserve. Proudly inclusive, we also welcome and support new generations of occupational therapists and are working to create a profession that reflects the diverse society we work with.
