The College of Occupational Therapists Event - Changing Lives with Rehabilitation: the Rehabilitation Framework in Action
Thurs 22nd May 2008, Glasgow Caledonian University

This conference not only aims to give you the opportunity to become better acquainted with Government policy and it's implementation in this area but gives you the chance to influence implementation of this policy both nationally and locally.

The programme has been designed to appeal to OTs and support staff working in both health and social care so please do pass this e-mail on to your colleagues.

The World cafe is being increasingly used by Scottish Government and is a new and exciting addition to the conference. We are delighted that June Wylie, AHP Officer, Education and Workforce, Scottish Government and Jenny Miller, AHP Practice Education Regional Co-ordinator from NHS Education Scotland have agreed to facilitate this. Information from the conversations will be used to inform implementation of Government policy.
