Occupational Therapy for Sustainable Living with Ben Whittaker and Tamara Rayment

12/10/2009, author: Frances

Frances Mortimer speaks to Ben Whittaker and Tamara Rayment about the contribution of occupational therapy to a greener health service. Why does OT need a paradigm shift to Sustainable Global Wellbeing, and what are the plans for the new Green OT Network?

Why OTs?

One of the things which makes occupational therapy special is its committed holistic approach. Yet even though the environment is considered an integral part of the OT process, the profession - at the UK at least - seems to be overlooking the single biggest threat to humans and their environment – climate change.

Green OT!
