As has previously been mentioned, the conference will look and work a little different this year. We are pleased and excited to share with you the latest developments and information with you so far. The ACOT Research and Country Reflection Day will be hosted VIRTUALLY on October 28, 2023.
What’s the Platform?
All presentations will be uploaded to the ACOT YouTube channel 1 week prior to the 28th. All registrants will need to view these presentations PRIOR to the 28th.
The day of the event, October 28th, Zoom will be used. All registrants will be sent the link to the Zoom prior to the 28th.
What’s the theme?
This year, the conference will have more of a relaxed tone and format, whilst still providing informative and educational content and research. The theme of the day will be Occupational Therapy: Evolve to Solve, and will provide all countries opportunities to share knowledge and promote discussion around how OT has evolved in the last two years, and how we as professionals have had to change and adapt our practice to meet the OT demands in the current political, world, health and social climate.
How will the day look like?
The first half of the day will be focussed on listening to and discussing current research. As with previous conferences, there will be presentations around our theme, as well as opportunities for Q&A sessions and breakout rooms to discuss the presentations and themes/questions they pose. This will be an opportunity for OTs and health professionals to share their current research.
The second half of the day will be more informal, and provide opportunities for OTs in each country to get together to participate in games, promoting some friendly competition between countries and providing an opportunity to get to know, and meet members from other countries.
The end of the day will provide an opportunity for reflection. A country rep from each member country will provide a short presentation on a topic/theme. The topics that will be presented on are as follows:
Anguilla - Lack of Support
Bahamas - Lack of Support
Barbados - Technology
Cayman Islands - Mental Health
Guyana - COVID
Haiti - Political Challenges
Jamaica - Mental Health
Trinidad and Tobago - Financial Challenges
