#RightTimeOT: OT in Wales

The Welsh Government's 'A Healthier Wales' plan backs care in the community. OTs are already making it happen—supporting people earlier, reducing hospital need & improving outcomes. To build a prevention-first system, OT must be central to future planning.

#OTweek25

OT Week 2025 is here!

Across the week we'll be promoting "Right Support, Right Time: Unlocking the Power of OT".
