We’re encouraging the occupational therapy community in Northern Ireland to call on their local candidates to support our manifesto in the upcoming Northern Ireland Assembly Election. We’ve shared ways below for you to contact your MLA candidates.
Ahead of the election on Thursday 5 May 2022, we’re calling on all candidates to support the three key asks of our Northern Ireland Assembly elections manifesto. These asks place occupational therapy at the centre of health and social care in Northern Ireland.
We’re asking for:
• Everyone to have earlier and inclusive access to occupational therapy
• Rehabilitation for everyone who needs it
• Building and advancing the occupational therapy workforce
If you’re a member in Northern Ireland, you can call on your local candidates to support these key asks too. You can do this by emailing your local candidates using our sample email. Or by asking candidates on social media to support the key asks using our sample social posts.
