We'll be looking deeper into 'OTs role in addressing health inequity' at our Annual Conference in June. #RCOT2024

Health is a human right.

Today is #WorldHealthDay and this year, World Health Organization (WHO) is highlighting how the right to health of millions of people is increasingly threatened. The theme 'my health, my right' champions the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services.

This month we're #CelebratingSocialCare !

We know it's not always easy, so this is a special shoutout to these skilled and compassionate people working in this area. 💚
