The final countdown is on to our virtual Annual Conference on Wednesday 14 June and Thursday 15 June 2023. We want to make sure you get the most out of attending the showcase event for occupational therapy.
We’re really looking forward to you using the digital platform to access it from wherever you are and being able to catch up on anything that you missed for up to six-months after the event.
To help you make the most of it, take a look at our tips for attending #RCOT2023.
- Familiarise yourself with the event platform. You can already access the Annual Conference platform. Find out what’s happening and create your schedule for each day. Take a look around and see where everything is, so it’s easy to find on the day.
- Create your own schedule. Check out the programme and decide in advance which sessions you want to attend. And remember, you can access the content until the end of December!
- Set up your delegate profile. Include your interests to make it even easier to connect with like-minded delegates.
- Take part with colleagues and friends. Arrange to catch up after a session or message each other using the chat box.
- Get involved. Ask questions in the Q&As, give your views in the polls, book chats with presenters, take part in chat rooms, and share on social media – remember to use #RCOT2023.
- Think about your CPD. Events, sessions and presentations can be considered CPD activities if you reflect on what you’ve learned and apply it to improve your practice. Use our reflection tool to help you.
- Minimise distractions. Find a quiet space, use headphones, block out time in your calendar, set an out of office message on your emails, put your phone away, don’t try to multitask.
- Have regular breaks. Build these into your Annual Conference schedule, stand up and stretch, get fresh air, walk around between sessions.
- Take full advantage of on-demand content. Don’t try and do too much, and don’t worry about schedule clashes as you can catch up afterwards – you’ll have access to the content for up to six-months after the event
- And finally, have fun! Annual Conference is a chance to immerse yourself in occupational therapy, develop your knowledge and practice, share experiences, network and meet new people.
