The Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) has started a project to explore the introduction of pre-registration doctoral level studies as an additional route to registration as an occupational therapist.
The project will scope stakeholder perspectives and consider the implications of introducing a pre-registration doctoral level entry route to the profession in the UK.
We want to hear your views on this so we’re holding a series of online workshops in January and February 2022. These events are open to all occupational therapists and learners, those involved in pre-registration education and graduate recruitment, as well as organisations and employers involved in the profession.
You can join one of four online community discussion events in January to explore this possible additional route to registration. You only need to attend one as they are identical discussion events.
- Friday 14 January 2022: 9.30am – 12noon
- Wednesday 19 January 2022: 9.30am – 12noon
- Monday 24 January 2022: 9.30am – 12noon
- *New date added* Monday 24 January 2022: 7.00pm - 9.30pm
Then we will host a fifth event in February to share a summary of these three discussions and to build a consensus to help shape our recommendations.
We encourage you to book your place as soon as you can.
