We are delighted to share that we have awarded Fellowships to six of our members.
Every year our members are invited to nominate their colleagues for a Fellowship of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT), or a Merit Award in recognition of their special contribution to the profession.
The Fellowship Award is the highest honour that we can give our professional members. We award them in recognition of the exceptional contribution members have made to the profession, and RCOT over many years.
This year we have awarded a Fellowship to:
- Dee Christie, Chair, Elizabeth Casson Trust
- Jo Adams, Emeritus Professor of Musculoskeletal Health, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Environment and Life Sciences, University of Southampton and Visiting Professor, University of Leeds
- Julia Scott, Former Chief Executive and Secretary, British Association and Royal College of Occupational Therapists
- Kate Sheehan, Director, The OT Service – Independent Occupational Therapist
- Paul Devlin MBE, Occupational Therapy Service Lead, Southeastern Health and Social Care Trust, The Ulster Hospital, Belfast
- Samantha Shann, Director and Occupational Therapist, The OT Service UK and President, World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT)
Unfortunately, we did not receive any nomination for the Merit Awards.
Congratulations to our new Fellows. Thank you everyone who got involved.
Start considering the amazing colleagues you could nominate for a Fellowship or a Merit Award. We will let you know in June 2022 how to nominate a colleague for a 2023 award.
