Key Clinical Streams for 2024
The OT Show offers a range of clinical streams tailored to various specialties, ensuring there’s something for everyone, no matter your area of focus.
Housing
Delivered by Foundations, the housing stream will focus on managing ‘behaviours of concern’ and handling adaptations that exceed £30k. These sessions will cover judicial review insights and how local authorities are collaborating with occupational therapists to ensure social housing is better suited for residents with sensory or developmental needs.
Neurology
This stream will help delegates align their current practices with the most up-to-date evidence, reflecting on guidelines and delivering practical interventions to improve client outcomes.
Mental Health
Mental health has been a key focus since the OT Show’s inception, and this year’s stream continues to highlight the critical role of OTs in mental health services. Sessions will cover personality disorder diagnoses, forensics, eating disorders, dementia, CAMHS, and perinatal mental health, offering a well-rounded approach to this growing area of need.
Paediatrics
The paediatrics stream offers a variety of sessions covering the care of children and young people with ASD, sensory disorders, developmental coordination disorders, and more. This stream also addresses challenging behaviours and strategies for managing them in both clinical and educational environments.
Contemporary Practice
A relatively new stream, contemporary practice highlights OTs in ‘non-traditional’ roles or positions where professional skills are applied outside of traditional settings. These sessions aim to broaden the scope of what occupational therapists can achieve and offer inspiration on emerging career opportunities within the profession.
