We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Workforce Survey 2024.
By completing our Workforce Survey, you'll help us gather vital data that will make sure we can all advocate for the change that is needed.
Take our survey

Make time in your diary today and don’t delay!
Depending on your answers, the survey will take 10–30 minutes.
Our survey opens today (Thursday 14 November 2024) and will close at 11:59 pm, Sunday 12 January 2025.
The faster we get responses to our survey the better we can target under-represented areas of practice or regions.
Who can complete this survey?
Our survey is open to all Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered occupational therapists in any role.
It’s also open to:
- OT learners (students and apprentices)
- OT assistants and support workers
- retired OTs who are still HCPC registered and actively engaged with our profession.
We want to hear from you no matter your level or and area of practice to make sure we get a diverse and representative picture of what’s happening. If you're actively engaged with our profession we need to engage with you.
We strongly encourage those from under-represented groups within our OT community to complete the survey. A wealth of views, backgrounds and approaches can only improve the evidence being generated.
This counts as CPD
Completing our Workforce Survey is a reflective practice that counts towards your CPD!
If you're an RCOT member, be sure to record it in your CPD portfolio.
A cornerstone of our Workforce Strategy – check we’re delivering what you need
This is our first Workforce Survey since the release of our Workforce Strategy.
Although you may have come across our Workforce Surveys before, they now serve as the cornerstone of our Workforce Strategy. We will be repeating it every two to three years to track, monitor and measure progress towards the vision we have set out.
The survey will give us crucial insights which will inform our nation-specific action plans and keep our profession on track across the UK.
The data from this survey will give us and you the power to:
Shape the future of occupational therapy
Advocate for better resources
Enhance professional development
Strengthen workforce planning
Support evidence-based practice
