This accolade recognises the Show’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality education, networking opportunities, and access to the latest innovations in occupational therapy. Over the years, the Occupational Therapy Show has become an essential platform for practitioners, suppliers, and thought leaders to connect, learn, and drive the profession forward.

This year’s event delivered an exceptional experience for attendees, featuring standout highlights designed to educate, inspire, and empower the occupational therapy community. Among the key attractions was the Elizabeth Casson Feature Zone, a vibrant celebration of the profession’s legacy and future that brought together thought-provoking content and meaningful conversations. Delegates alo explored the dynamic Poster Zone, which showcased real-life case studies, clinical outcomes, and evidence-based learning that professionals could apply directly to their practice.

Exhibitors further enhanced the experience through engaging On-Stand Sessions, offering concise, high-impact presentations filled with practical tips, product demonstrations, and hands-on guidance from leading suppliers. The Occupational Therapy Show also hosted an impressive line-up of top speakers, including some of the most respected figures in occupational therapy and healthcare. Their sessions highlighted current issues, emerging trends, and forward-thinking approaches, equipping delegates with valuable insights to take back to their organisations.

“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this award again,” said Matt Govett, Event Director of the Occupational Therapy Show. “It reflects the hard work of our team, the dedication of our exhibitors, and the engagement of the occupational therapy community. We remain committed to providing an exceptional experience for professionals and ensuring that the Show continues to lead the way in the UK.”

The Occupational Therapy Show brings together hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors annually, offering inspiring workshops, keynote sessions, and the latest products and solutions tailored for occupational therapy practice. This recognition from the BHTA underscores the Show’s continued impact and influence in the healthcare sector.

The Occupational Therapy Show will return to the NEC Birmingham on 25-26 November 2026. Prospective delegates can register their interest.
