Occupation as a foundation for everything: lessons from an occupational therapy entrepeneur and leader
Occupational therapists are uniquely equipped with a set of skills that reach far beyond traditional practice. In this inspiring keynote, Rhiannon Stokes shares her journey from occupational therapist to business founder, Chair of CMSUK, and co-creator of the Sketcher Project an innovative art initiative for adults with brain injuries. Through personal insights and practical reflections, she explores how occupational therapy thinking grounded in creativity, problem-solving, and meaningful occupation can drive change, leadership, and innovation across sectors. This session will challenge and inspire you to reimagine your career possibilities, embrace your transferable skills, and recognise that being an occupational therapist is not a limitation, but the foundation for anything you want to become.
