From ancient times when going to the loo was a public activity to today’s world where we often avoid talking about it, the occupation of toileting should reflect our culture, dignity and comfort. This session takes a light-hearted but thoughtful look at how occupational therapists can approach this essential occupation with confidence and sensitivity.  It will explore the history and cultural diversity of toileting, reflect on how attitudes have changed, and consider what this means for our practice. Through the lens of activity analysis,  it will examine the physical, cognitive and emotional demands of toileting — and how these compare to each client’s functional ability. The session highlights how clinical reasoning, rather than assumption, helps us choose the right interventions — whether that’s a rail, a prompt, or a wash–dry toilet.  Always a useful reminder that sometimes, talking crap is exactly what good occupational therapy is all about.
