Here's what we found

Resource for residents, staff, and care home managers on best practices to help older people enjoy daily activities for health and wellbeing.

Early career occupational therapists are newly registered practitioners, those returning to practice and those transitioning from international settings in the first three years following registration with the HCPC. Early career occupational therapists are characterised by their transition into autonomous practice, consolidation of core professional capabilities, development of professional identity and active engagement in continuing professional development and career planning. Through the introduction of our principles and standards to evidence delivery, we are setting clear expectations for both employers and early career occupational therapists. Our aim is to smooth the transition into practice, foster excellence, nurture a strong sense of professional belonging and ultimately improve retention, securing the sustainability of the workforce, quality and satisfaction across the profession.
