Connect with the Worldwide OT Community

Sophie

Hi everyone.
My name is Sophie and I am an Occupational Therapy Assistant working in the UK's National Health Service (NHS) in adult mental health services. Alongside my work I have started studying at Coventry University in England to become a qualified OT.

I'm very excited to begin this journey and interested in making connections with the wider international community of Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Students. I have interest in the differences and similarities in OT practices (skills, values, and responsibilities) and how our cultures and views change the way our services are provided.

Any contact would be very much appreciated and I would be happy to return any questions that anyone may have regarding my role and practice as well as what OT is like in England.

Thank you!
Sophie

hi Sophie,
I'm Noelle and I'm a first year OT student from Vienna, Austria. I'm trying to connect with Students or other Occupational Therapists around the globe and I would love to know if there are differences based on the country where you study/work ^^

Hi Sophie, my name is Rachel and I am a first year OT student in Ireland. As part of my programme I have been given the task to connect with OT students around the world to find out more about responsibilities, values, skills and cultural differences within the profession. Would you be interested in exchanging information about Occupational Therapy practice in each of our countries?

Hello Sophie.

I am an OT student in Brazil. I would like there to be greater contact between students from different countries, so that we can strengthen OT.

Olá, sou estudante de terapia Ocupacional no Brasil, mais especificamente na Amazônia. Considero a Terapia Ocupacional bem diferente a depender da região, gostaria de saber mais como é em outros países, áreas de interesse e afins.
