    Our online Start-Up and Succeed (SUAS) one-day training course (with follow up session); and programme of monthly Webinars
  • Promotion
    The opportunity to have a FREE profile listing in our online FIND AN OT directory - to market your occupational therapy services to other professionals and the general putlic.
  • Representation
    The opportunity for your member views and needs to be represented to the RCOT in order to support the continued development of member services/products and the independent sector as a whole.


Please note

We are currently in the holding/transitional phase (October 2024 to Spring 2025) of the RCOT Reimagining Communities project - with all specialist sections having ceased (1 October 2024) and there therefore being no new memberships or profile listings, and no member activities/benefits.

With the launch of the new communities platform this Spring, all RCOT members will be invited onboard and given the opportunity to join any number of new communities/networks, within three categories - clinical, professional (including IP) and regional.

Please email the RCOT Membership Excellence team ([email protected]), if you would like more information and/or have any questions regarding this project.

In terms of our online FIND AN OT directory, this is to be reviewed and improved and relocated to the RCOT website - with works due to start early Spring. In the meantime, the directory remains up and running on our SS-IP website.
