Join our communities
If you are an occupational therapist, OT student or support worker, the British Association of Occupational Therapists (BAOT) is your professional body and trade union.
By joining you’ll have access to a wide range of member benefits, including continuing professional development opportunities. You'll be able to support the profession and connect with your 36,000 strong professional community.
Reimagining our communities
We’re currently reimagining our communities and creating opportunities for members to be able to meet, connect and collaborate with each other through a series of practice, professional and regional networks. All members will be able to join these new networks next year. These networks will be hosted on RCOT Communities, a new online community engagement platform we’re currently piloting. Find out more about our new communities here.
Play your part on the international stage
BAOT membership entitles you to join the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT). You can access a global network of like-minded peers across every continent, eager to spread best practice worldwide. BAOT is also a member association of the Council for Occupational Therapists of the European Countries (COTEC), which provides in-depth information on practice in Europe.
