As proud event partners, they have helped shape this year’s event CPD programme, reflecting the values of modern occupational therapy. These values drive how and why The Occupational Therapy Service do what they do and during the event, the three Directors will be available to explore how these principles can enhance everyday practice and inspire meaningful change.

The Occupational Therapy Service values that will be explored are:

1. Person-led occupation
We work alongside people to identify what truly matters in their daily lives, using occupation as the foundation for every intervention.
Why it matters: Because meaningful activity is what gives life purpose, and it’s where change really happens.

2. Evidence-informed practice
Our recommendations are shaped by clinical expertise, research, and professional standards, ensuring interventions are safe, effective, and goal-oriented.
Why it matters: People deserve the best of our profession, not guesswork or trends.

3. Enabling interdependence
We support people to engage in meaningful activities by fostering skills, confidence, and supportive environments, recognising that wellbeing is often built through connection with others.

Why it matters: Because thriving isn’t about doing everything alone, it’s about having the right balance of autonomy, support, and belonging.

4. Ethical and accountable

We act with professional integrity, making transparent decisions that respect rights, needs, and the principles of proportionate care.

Why it matters: Trust is earned when our decisions are honest, fair, and clearly explained

5. Inclusive environments
We design and recommend solutions that remove barriers, promote accessibility, and allow people to thrive in their chosen occupations.
Why it matters: Everyone should have the opportunity to take part in the activities that matter to them.

Director Adam Ferry concludes by saying: "We’re excited to be attending The OT Show this year. What sets us apart is that we’re led by practising occupational therapists. Every decision we make is grounded in clinical insight, professional standards, and a deep understanding of the environments people live and work in – values we will aways uphold in the name of effective OT."
