Equipping you to influence service commissioners
Members have access to a range of resources and evidence to enable them to influence service commissioners. These include letter templates, presentations, leaflets, position statements, briefing documents and special events, including Annual Conference. Our dedicated officers can also supply you with evidence to support your arguments and proposals.
Influence budget holders
Service commissioners are the key budget holders who allocate health and social care spend. By influencing their decisions you can ensure service users have increased access to occupational therapy services. You can also ensure increased allocation of resources to occupational therapy and more job opportunities for the profession.
Influence budget holders in your local area
You are best placed to influence service commissioners. BAOT/COT provides resources and support to help you shape service commissioning in your local area. We can help you respond to local needs and agendas in a way which will benefit the profession locally and ultimately nationally.
Influencing supports your continuing professional development
Taking responsibility for the promotion of the profession is an excellent way to build evidence for your CPD portfolio.
