AOTI CEO Odhrán Allen joined this webinar to speak with us about AOTI advocacy on behalf of AOTI members.  This webinar is a great opportunity to become informed about AOTI advocacy on behalf of the profession. A key priority in AOTI Strategy 2024-2029 is to strengthen advocacy to amplify the voice of the profession and increase visibility of the transformative potential of occupational participation and Occupational Therapy. Odhrán speaks about current and future advocacy within AOTI on behalf of our members, and answers questions that members have about this topic.

In preparation for CORU CPD audits in April AOTI Director of Professional Development Siobhan Hanley was joined by members of CORU to discuss CPD, CORU CPD requirements and were introduced to the new CORU online portal being used if selected for audit.
