COT Specialist Sections

Specialist Sections

Three delegates at Annual Conference

Specialist Sections are groups of occupational therapists and occupational therapy staff with a common practice interest

Specialist Sections are instrumental in increasing credibility and raising the profile of occupational therapy within a clinical area. Specialist Sections, branches of the COT, are member organisations, run by a board of volunteer occupational therapists. They work in partnership with the College, setting high standards and promoting good practice within their clinical speciality, representing the interest(s) of their members
