Join us and your occupational therapy colleagues online for the 2021 Elizabeth Casson Memorial Lecture on Wednesday 10 November 2021.
You will hear Dr Anita Atwal, Associate Professor of Interprofessional Working at London South Bank University, give this year’s prestigious lecture followed by a Q&A session. Dr Atwal will talk about social and creative courage to innovate and disrupt occupational therapy practice.
Dr Atwal, who is an Elizabeth Casson mentor, a mentor to BAME occupational therapists and part of the NIHR Clinical Lecturer Programme, says, “Elizabeth Casson was an innovator who has been described as eccentric and typically direct. In other words, she was not afraid to speak out, push the boundaries and pioneer innovative occupational therapy practice.
"Speaking out is a core value of occupational therapy, and the focus of this lecture will be to do just that – under the heading 'No barriers to brilliance'. In relation to eccentricity, this lecture will highlight why it is time to deviate from the conventional norms of the profession and implement the principles of belonging.”
The lecture will take place online, so you can watch from wherever you are. The lecture is free to attend, but you must register in advance to access the live stream.
