Unifying our shared goals of enhancing occupational therapy and the development of occupational therapists, COTEC held a productive online meeting with the Elizabeth Casson Trust in November 2024. This was the first formal meeting between the two organisations with a view of building a symbiotic relationship.  The discussion focused on exploring potential collaborations and information sharing between COTEC and the Elizabeth Casson Trust. We emphasised  the importance of cross-border partnerships in empowering practitioners and benefiting communities. Both organisations expressed enthusiasm for ongoing dialogue to strengthen the occupational therapy profession on an international scale. This work will continue.
