We do occupations from the moment we’re born – they’re essential to living. They give our lives meaning and purpose, they shape who we are, and help us connect with others. #OTWeek23 rcot.co.uk/occupation @the_RCOT

What occupations would you hate to lose? As occupational therapist's we’d explore what they mean to you and then, together, we’d create a plan of goals and adjustments to get you back to doing it. Or explore alternatives. #OTWeek23 rcot.co.uk/occupation Royal College of Occupational Therapists Leanne Hunt

Occupations are essential to living. They give our lives meaning, purpose and structure. 💚
