The OT Life Podcast – Not just barbecues and bingo

Welcome to The OT Life. A careers podcast from the OTs of Cygnet.

We created The OT Life for OTs around the country who are interested in hearing from people who share the same passion for Occupational Therapy. We chat all things OT from our opinions about the profession, our role in health and social care, stories and experiences and career advice.

In our first episode, we talk about the misconceptions of Occupational Therapists in health and social care.

Don’t get us wrong, we love barbecues and bingo: They’re meaningful activities that help the lives of the people we care for, but we believe Occupational Therapy is so much more.

Emma Crowcroft, Director of Occupation Therapy for the Midlands & Wales, chats with fellow Occupational Therapists Rebecca Griffiths and Rebecca Boothby. 

Emma, Becky G, and Becky B chat misconceptions, what being an OT is really about and what an OT needs to do to help the people we care for this decade. They also share some tips about creating an OT identity in organisations and how OTs can raise their profile in their organisation.
