Occupational therapists from secure inpatient services needed
Hello,
I am currently studying a master's in clinical research at Teesside university. As part of the programme, I am undertaking a qualitative research study looking into occupational therapists' experiences of vocational rehabilitation in secure inpatient services in England.

Hello everyone! I teach Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy to OTD students, and I’ve been reflecting on the persistent challenge of translating classroom knowledge into clinical practice.
In my classroom, we’ve moved beyond just textbooks, we use cadaver labs, tech applications, and integrated simulations to make the material as real as possible. However, I still see a significant struggle when students transition to the clinic. They can identify structures perfectly in a lab setting, but that confidence often disappears when they need to perform surface palpation or apply functional anatomy to a living, moving patient.
I’m curious to hear from the clinical educators in this group:
In your experience, where is the biggest knowledge drop-off between classroom preparation and actual clinical application?
Are there specific anatomical concepts (e.g., nerve pathways, joint mechanics) that students seem to 'lose' the moment they step into the clinic?
What can we do in the classroom…

Hi all, I am still in need of participants for my dissertation research study (PhD in OT). I am exploring how daily routines impact occupational engagement and well-being in autistic adults. If you are an autistic adult, I would so appreciate it if you would complete the brief screening survey which can be found on the attached recruitment flyer.
The study consists of 3 short surveys (should take 10-15 min to complete) and a routines tracker.
Thank you for your consideration!

Hi I'm Dan, neurospicy and late diagnosed,
Photo is from a recent 'sketchbook club' outing...
I'm new to the hub and new here too. I'm a neurodiversity network co-lead in my trust. I'm also a regional EDB contact, and looking to network with other OT's. Looking forward to sharing helpful things and being part of discussions.

Dear colleagues,
We are occupational therapists involved in the Mental Health Reflection Group of the French National Association of Occupational Therapists.
We are currently reflecting on the place of the psychodynamic conceptual model and psychoanalytic theories in occupational therapy practice in mental health. As practices and theoretical frameworks may vary greatly across countries, we would be very interested in learning more about your experiences and perspectives.
We would be grateful if you could share your thoughts on the following questions:
Which conceptual models are most commonly used in occupational therapy practice in mental health in your country?
Are psychodynamic models or psychoanalytic theories used in occupational therapy practice in your context?
I am currently conducting a global consultation on a specific line of inquiry related to occupational therapy practice.
As part of this initiative, I am reaching out to occupational therapy associations worldwide. I obtained your contact details through WFOT.
This consultation will contribute to a research project, and I would greatly appreciate your insights and perspectives on this topic.
Please feel free to respond at your convenience.
The findings will be shared in a scientific format (e.g., journal article or similar publication), and I will ensure that a summary of the results is communicated to participants.
Thank you very much for your time and valuable contribution.
Thanks for reaching out @Dan Shelton - and welcome to the Hub and OT Circles! We'll bring your post to the attention of fellow Members via our network, to assist connections and discussion here. Great vinyl artwork by the way!
