After working as a mental health support worker, he decided that a career in healthcare better matched his values. Jamie relocated from London to Bristol, to train as an Occupational Therapist at the University of the West of England. Jamie works clinically as an Specialist Neurological Occupational Therapist, providing outpatient rehabilitation. He integrates neuro-technology and traditional functional rehab methods, to maximise outcomes for adults. Previously, he worked for a community paediatric disability service and before that in a brain injury rehabilitation unit. Other experiences include being a rotational OT in acute NHS hospitals and working within an urgent care rapid response team. Jamie also completed placements within stroke rehabilitation and at a young persons' mental health charity. The Occupational Therapy Hub has been Jamie's labour of love since he launched the platform in 2017. He enjoys collaborating with occupational therapists and healthcare staff around the world. By sharing knowledge and breaking down geographical and financial barriers, he believes that his team can make a valued contribution to health and social care. Jamie has a bold vision: He strives to bring a global community together; in doing so, The Occupational Therapy Hub can directly empower clinicians and students, indirectly supporting patients and clients. Abigail Brown Therapy Articles Lead Specialist Mental Health Occupational Therapist in Hereford, UK Contact Abigail Abigail graduated in 2017 with an MSc in pre-reg Occupational Therapy from Plymouth University, UK. She has worked in community adult mental health and learning disabilities as a mental health practitioner; supporting people in their own homes through the recovery model. Abigail found a passion for empowering this client group, focusing on skill development and increasing independent living skills. Through working with those who have a learning disability, Abigail has developed a passion for advocating for the rights and choices of those who are vulnerable. A large part of the job involves supporting communication and making reasonable adjustments through best practice. Working in a generic role, Abigail valued the challenge of weaving her OT skills into practice to promote the benefits of OT across mental healthcare. Abigail has a passion for learning and gaining new experiences in the world of OT. She has an interest in research and promoting the value of the profession, through evidence based practice. In her spare time, Abigail enjoys exercising at the gym and cycling, reading and going to the beach with friends and family. Ainun Meutia ('Tia') Paediatrics Lead School-based Occupational Therapist in Jakarta, Indonesia Contact Tia Tia is a school-based occupational therapist, with more than 10 years’ experience. Since graduating from the University of Indonesia, Tia has been working in the school setting; teaching and coaching have always been her passion. She is also a guest lecturer for the occupational therapy major at her alma mater. Tia loves iced coffee as much as she loves sharing her knowledge and experiences in parenting classes, talking about attachment and child development. Currently she is interested to learn more about the occupation of sleep. Dr Madhuri Arora OT CPD Courses Lead General Physician and SENCo Trainee, in United Arab Emirates Contact Dr Arora Dr. Madhuri is an MBBS graduate from India, with over 20 years of experience working as a General Physician (GP). Her first home is Mumbai; she currently lives and practises in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). New opportunities in different (yet related) fields sparked her interest in Special Education Needs (SEN). A temporary volunteering job inspired her to contribute more to a field that requires equal compassion for children with learning difficulties. This motivation led her to complete a post-graduate diploma in Special Education, focusing on ADHD, Autism and other learning difficulties. Currently, Dr. Madhuri is pursuing training to become a Special Education Needs Coordinator (SENCo) in the Early Years Foundation Stage. She is keen to explore diverse therapies, as she believes that each individual benefits uniquely from therapies best suited to them and their needs. She was delighted to then connect with The Occupational Therapy Hub team, who have piqued her interest in occupational therapy. Outside of productivity-based occupations, her hobbies include playing tennis, singing and listening to a variety of music. As a music enthusiast, she is also eager to learn about the benefits of music and sound therapy; these can support improved functioning of both mind and body, in a holistic manner. Tasha Jones OT Webinars Lead School-based Occupational Therapist in Dubai, UAE Contact Tasha Tasha is a school-based paediatric occupational therapist, with over 12 years of experience. After completing her BSc in South Africa in 2006 and working for a few years she returned to university, graduating with an MSc in Neuroscience in 2019. Tasha knew from early on in her training that she had a passion for working with children. While she's gained valuable experience across children's hospitals, medical step-down facilities and private clinics, she discovered her true professional home in school-based therapy services. Tasha never met a question she didn't want to know the answer to. This has led to her drive for understanding the evidence and neural basis behind what we do as occupational therapists - and sharing that knowledge with others, to bridge the gap between neuroscience, theory and daily practice. Tasha moved from South Africa to Dubai in 2018. In her spare time, she can be found hanging with her husband and two children, researching obsessively, reading, listening to podcasts and, when time and temperature allow, on her SUP in the ocean. Jay Vivek Jagdale Student Engagement Lead B.O.T.H student at Government Medical College in Nagpur, India Contact Jay Jay is a student in the WFOT-approved Bachelor of Occupational Therapy program at Government Medical College, Nagpur, known for having the largest campus in Asia. His passion for occupational therapy stems from a personal experience - his father's stroke, which left his left side paralysed. Witnessing first-hand how rehabilitation played a key role in his father's recovery, Jay became determined to help others regain their independence and improve their quality of life. Jay is dedicated to pursuing research and advancing his career in occupational therapy. Outside of academia, he actively engages in singing, playing the piano and writing short stories and poems. He is also a proud pet parent to five cats and a passionate academic enthusiast. Claire Davies Gaunt Company S ecretary Based in Kent, UK Contact Claire Graduating from Sheffield University with a degree in Law, Claire has most recently worked at a digital scheduling company.

Claire brings many years of knowledge of the legal sector and has previously been an EA for a charity start-up and a policy officer at City Hall, in the Mayor's office. Outside of work, Claire enjoys everything Kent and London have to offer. But she loves to escape to the mountains as many times as possible in the winter, to get back on the skis!

Your online gateway to access and showcase occupational therapy research, with a global audience. Exclusive to OT+ Membership. Research Portal 3.0 OT Your gateway to access and showcase occupational therapy research Exclusive to OT+ Membership Research Themes > Submit / Feedback Editorial Editorial We have made further improvements to the Research Portal. In version 3.0, journal articles and infographics are categorised into a breadth of 'Themes', streamlining your route to relevant papers. The type of research continues to be highlighted . "You can contribute to the Portal, by suggesting topics, papers, research and authors that are relevant to evidence-based practice in occupational therapy. Month by month, we can together build a solid collection of references to improve our practice and critical thinking as occupational therapy practitioners. Our profession has been supporting the world for over a hundred years. In all these years, occupational therapy had different paradigms - built under the umbrella of knowledge, culture, clinical experience, values and ethical behaviours. Despite being an extensive topic, subject to corrections, some authors call those sum characteristics 'professionalism'. Speaking about professionalism seems unnecessary in the Research Portal; common sense dictates that if you are a professional, you are going to act with professionalism. But sometimes we may not understand how intrinsic its importance is for advancing the profession, since professionalism is 'an essential component of a value-based practice, which is a complement to an evidence-based practice' (Lecours, 2021). So, despite the cultural, social and geographical differences, professionalism in occupational therapy crosses the frontiers and gives us a collective and unique professional identity. Morrison (1998) highlights that 'Occupational therapy holds together as it develops a praxis that strengthens its development.' Following his line, the author says: 'the exercise of the profession, in any of its spheres, becomes as diverse as the subjects of care, or the issues to be addressed allow it, as well as the development of its scientific knowledge.' In short, two principle factors that make our profession solid and develop a positive identity are: paradigms and evidence. So, let us keep walking hand-in-hand with value-based practice and evidence-based practice."
