10th National Forensic Occupational Therapy Conference

Another Successful year for the Forensic Forum & COTTS Mental Health…

We are pleased to announce that on the 9th & 10th December 2009, the National Forensic Occupational Therapy conference celebrated its 10th year and continued to shape occupational therapy for years to come.

This year one hundred professionals descended upon the International Centre of Life, Newcastle upon Tyne, to discuss the growth and development of Forensic Occupational Therapy and debate hot topics in the field.

This year’s conference theme was 'Implementing New Initiatives' and saw Ron Coleman, Working to Recovery, present a memorable and thought provoking keynote speech. Engaging and influential presentations were also made from other forensic occupational therapists around the four sub themes of Social Inclusion, Managing Risk, Implementing Research and Vocational Rehabilitation.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the conference contributing to make it a success including delegates, speakers, chairs, and committee members. With such commitment, events such as the Forum can continue to provide the forensic occupational therapy community with a platform to share ideas and push occupational therapy forward in the right direction.

Please keep an eye open for any future Forensic Forum events taking place in the 2010. Any details will be placed online when they become available.
